Energy and stimulant drinks which contain caffeine provide enlivening effects, reduce fatigue and improve concentration and endurance. However, consumers may also experience physical and psychological side effects as a result of excessive consumption of caffeine within these drinks. Caffeine is known to exacerbate or induce some psychiatric conditions such as anxiety, panic attacks, psychosis and mania. Here we discuss a case of acute suicidality following sleep deprivation after the excessive consumption of a popular energy drink. We are concerned that such widely available stimulant drinks should contain health warnings or advice regarding moderating consumption.
能量饮料和含有咖啡因的刺激饮料具有提神醒脑、抗疲劳、提高注意力和耐力的作用。然而，消费者如果过量饮用这些饮料，可能会出现身体和心理方面的副作用。众所周知，咖啡因会加重或诱发某些精神疾病，如焦虑、惊恐发作、精神病和躁狂症。在这里，我们讨论了一例因过度饮用一种流行的能量饮料导致睡眠剥夺后出现急性自杀意念的病例。我们担心，这种广泛供应的兴奋剂饮料应该包含有关适度饮用的健康警告或建议。
