Stimulant-induced Psychosis
Stimulant-induced psychosis occurs in both therapeutic and nontherapeutic contexts but at vastly different prevalence rates. While prescribed stimulants pose a low but clinically relevant risk, particularly in individuals with psychiatric vulnerability, nontherapeutic use carries a substantial burden of psychosis with significant public health implications. These findings underscore the need for careful monitoring in clinical practice, risk profiling, and targeted harm-reduction strategies in nonmedical use settings.
