Uçucu madde kullanımına bağlı görsel halüsinasyonlar: bir rüya modellemesi örneği

Journal of Dependence October 13, 2024 Mustafa Danışman, Gamze Zengin İspir, Kübra Sezer Katar

Volatile substances can cause neuropsychiatric effects such as delusions and hallucinations and may lead to sudden death. Their use is often linked to lower socioeconomic status and described as driven by hopelessness, with little focus on pleasurable effects. This article examines a patient who, older than typical users, continues using volatile substances and reports controlling his hallucinatory experiences. The visual hallucinations are compared to lucid dreams, suggesting that these experiences may positively reinforce continued substance use.
