Psychosis was present in 29 percent of cocaine-disordered patients hospitalized in 1985 during an epidemic of freebase cocaine abuse in the Bahamas. Record reviews revealed that a variety of psychotic phenomenologic patterns were present. Prior major mental disorders and increased dosage of cocaine were more common among psychotic than non-psychotic patients. Violent behavior was common among cocaine patients, especially those with psychosis. We conclude that freebase cocaine psychosis is neither rare nor benign.
1985年,在巴哈马群岛出现快克可卡因滥用流行期间,住院的可卡因紊乱患者中有29%出现了精神病症状。病历审查显示存在多种精神病学现象模式。有过严重精神障碍和增加可卡因用量的情况在有精神病症状的患者中比在无精神病症状的患者中更为常见。暴力行为在可卡因患者中很常见,尤其是那些有精神病症状的患者。我们得出结论,快克可卡因所致精神病既不罕见也并非良性。
