First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 11, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study will follow 90 people hospitalized with methamphetamine-induced psychotic disorder, comparing those who have also used cannabis in their lifetime to those who have not. Researchers will assess psychiatric symptoms, insight, addiction severity, and sleep quality weekly for eight weeks. The goal is to see if cannabis use influences the severity and course of psychosis, and to identify other factors that may play a role.
