Post Responses: Drug-Induced Psychosis
Post one
The post presents a clear illustration of the description of the psychosis that is substance-induced. The post presents facts that patients for this psychosis are regular in hospital admissions because of the use of hard drugs. As recommended by Sadock and Sadock (2007), this post explains that clinicians and medics should take an Oral Potent Antipsychotic first before proceeding to have injections for such patients. However, this post does not provide any supporting data on the prevalence of such aspects of substance-induced psychosis.
Post Two
The introduction of this post focuses on the style of presentation rather than the introductory content. However, the post presents information on synthetic cathinones in a well illustrated and presented manner. The post comprehensively describes the prevalence of the synthetic cathinones in the area of the writer as a means of precipitating psychosis. As described by Gururajan (2012) this post further explains that they can be used in a variety of means such as injection and inhalation. The post is relevant because it approaches the situation presented by the psychosis in a practical manner. The post further describes the opinio2n and considerations of medics on the synthetic cathinones as well as their effectiveness on the condition.
Post Three
This post describes the informative and interesting presentation, but the author takes a different perspective. The post evaluates the presentation as a focus on substances that are linked with drug induced psychosis. However, according to Gururajan (2012), it is the psychosis that is linked with drugs as the cause. However, the post further describes substance abuse as the cause for psychosis. Moreover, the post uses studies to validate the argument, which makes the information more relevant and verifiable.
