Ever wondered how methamphetamine use can lead to severe mental health issues? In this episode of 'The Addiction Connection', Drs. Heather Bell and Kurt DeVine tackle the challenging topic of methamphetamine-induced psychosis. They explain how this powerful drug can trigger mood swings, sleep problems, and even hypersexuality, sometimes leading to same-sex experiences in males. The conversation doesn't stop there; they also discuss why certain treatments, like haloperidol, should be avoided due to dangerous interactions with meth.
The episode dives into the long-term effects of meth use, including genetic vulnerabilities that might make some individuals more susceptible to addiction.
