Neurobiological vulnerability to low-dose amphetamine psychosis
The American Journal of Psychiatry
|December 1, 1978
Abstract:
The authors present a case to illustrate a model of drug-induced psychosis wherein the drug acts as if it fits with some neurobiological predisposition in the patient. Patients with a good interpersonal developmental history but extreme sensitivity to a psychotomimetic drug may provide a model for neurobiological vulnerability to psychosis.
