ED visit for psychedelic use confers increased risk of psychosis
Individuals who had an emergency department (ED) visit related to use of psychedelic drugs were at higher risk of developing a psychotic disorder than those in the general population, a retrospective cohort study has found. These individuals also were more likely to develop a schizophrenia spectrum disorder compared with those who had an ED visit involving alcohol or cannabis, the researchers reported. Study results were published online Nov. 13, 2024, in JAMA Psychiatry .
