Abstract

Amphetamine abuse is widespread and is frequently encountered in general hospital settings. We have recently seen amphetamine-induced transient psychosis associated with severe self-injurious behavior and self-mutilation. In the setting of bizarre and/or severe self-injurious behavior, screening for amphetamines is indicated.
