This case report describes a young man who developed posttraumatic stress disorder after an unsupervised psychedelic experience with LSD and DMT during which a repressed childhood sexual‑abuse memory surfaced. As, to the authors' knowledge, the first documented onset of PTSD following psychedelic use outside a therapeutic setting, it emphasises the need for clinicians treating substance‑use disorders or trauma to recognise such atypical presentations.
