Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar disorder, characterised by extreme fluctuations in mood, is a complex mental health condition that affects approximately 45 million people worldwide. Current research on psychedelics as a potential treatment is limited due to concerns about inducing manic episodes, but emerging evidence, particularly regarding ketamine, suggests promise for alleviating depressive symptoms associated with the disorder.

A systematic review of the effects of novel psychoactive substances ‘legal highs’ on people with severe mental illness

This systematic review (mostly case reports) found scarce but consistent evidence that novel psychoactive substances can precipitate new or worsening psychotic symptoms, marked behavioural disturbance (agitation, aggression) and physiological changes in people with severe mental illness. Findings are limited by the reliance on case studies, and the authors call for clinicians to ask directly about NPS use and for further research into long‑term mental and physical effects.
