Drug Induced Psychosis

There are many different effects of drugs. Long term and short term. One of the effects of drugs such as cannabis for example, is that it can bring on drug-induced psychosis. Drug induce psychosis occurs when there is a chemical imbalance in the brain.

 You may have something called a psychotic episode. This is when you believe something that isn’t necessarily true, or happening. It can be awfully scary and emotional for loved ones to watch. A psychotic episode can last for any amount of time, days, weeks or months and needs medication to be treated.
