Abuse of nitrous oxide--also known as laughing gas--can lead to a number of well-known neurological symptoms but also to less documented psychiatric symptoms. Studies show abuse prevalence rates ranging from 12% to 20% among youngsters and thereby classify nitrous oxide as one of the five most frequently used inhalants. Its abuse still remains unrecognized in psychiatric settings, however. Since treatment is straightforward, it is important to raise the awareness of clinicians with respect to typical signs and symptoms. This paper presents a case report and gives an overview of the existing literature on psychiatric symptoms and therapy.
一氧化二氮（又称笑气）的滥用会导致一些众所周知的神经症状，也会引发一些记录较少的精神症状。研究表明，青少年中一氧化二氮的滥用率在12%至20%之间，因此一氧化二氮被列为最常被滥用的五种吸入剂之一。然而，在精神科环境中，其滥用仍未得到认识。由于治疗方法简单直接，提高临床医生对典型体征和症状的认识很重要。本文介绍了一个病例报告，并概述了关于精神症状和治疗的现有文献。
