Can drug-induced psychosis lead to schizophrenia?

[donnie]

For some people the symptoms of a drug-induced psychosis can continue long after the drug wears off. In some cases, drug-induced psychosis can be the first sign of a longer-term mental illness like schizophrenia or bipolar disorder.

Have you experienced drug-induced psychosis? How long did it last? Was it permanent?

Psychotic disorders due to drug use can be quite terrifying for the individual and family members as well. The responses to drug-induced psychotic symptoms will differ significantly among individuals. Some will immediately recover when the drug is eliminated from their system, while others will experience persistent symptoms requiring time and support to resolve.
