Abstract

A case‐control study involving patients with a psychiatric hospitalization has found increased odds of psychosis and mania in individuals with past‐month use of prescription amphetamines. Risk of psychosis and mania was substantially higher in patients receiving higher doses of amphetamines, the investigators reported. Study results were published online Sept. 12, 2024, in the American Journal of Psychiatry. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
