Cannabis-induced depersonalization disorder in adolescence.
Neuropsychobiology January 1, 2012 Franziska Hürlimann, Stephan Kupferschmid, Andor E Simon
Six adolescents developed persistent depersonalization disorder after consuming cannabis; in two cases the illness was severely disabling. The association between cannabis and depersonalization disorder is widely neglected in the literature. This case series describes the clinical characteristics of the disorder and reviews neurobiological evidence linking it to cannabis use, extending awareness of cannabis's detrimental effects in young individuals beyond its well-documented relationship with psychosis.
