Amphetamine Abuse by Hospitalized Chronic Schizophrenic Patients
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 January 2018
Extract
Though Young and Scoville (11) first described the paranoid schizophreniform psychoses associated with amphetamine ingestion in 1938, amphetamine-induced psychoses were not recognized as a major problem among English speaking nations until Connell (3) published his monograph in 1958. Connell's report of 42 cases documented the frequent presence of the syndrome and subsequent reporting of over 200 such cases has borne out the seriousness of the problem (5).
