Common card · No. 356450

Hallucinogen-induced psychotic disorder (HIPD), also known as hallucinogen-induced psychosis or psychedelic-induced psychosis, is a mental disorder characterized by psychotic symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions, severe paranoia, disorganized thinking and behavior, and insomnia. Hallucinogen-induced psychotic disorder occurs following the use of hallucinogens, for instance psychedelics like LSD, psilocybin, or dimethyltryptamine (DMT). The incidence rate of HIPD with psychedelics is 0.002% to 0.6% in different types of studies and is considered to be low and rare. HIPD with psychedelics is more likely to occur in individuals with a personal or family history of mental illness and is far more likely to occur in people with schizophrenia. The treatment is atypical antipsychotic medication. Hallucinogen-induced psychotic disorder may last for weeks or months if left untreated.
