It is well established that psychosis may arise in the context of abuse of certain illicit drugs (e.g. amphetamine). This article reviews the effects of chewing the plant khat and outlines the pharmacological aspects, the dependence issue and a comparative study between previously reported cases and four cases reported here to highlight the epidemiology, clinical features and prognosis of khat-induced psychosis.
众所周知，精神病可能在滥用某些非法药物（如安非他命）的情况下出现。本文回顾了咀嚼巧茶这种植物的影响，并概述了药理学方面、成瘾问题，以及一项对比研究，该研究对比了先前报道的病例与本文报道的四例病例，以突出巧茶所致精神病的流行病学、临床特征和预后。
