A 26-year-old man developed a psychotic episode after consuming ayahuasca for the first time during a ritual ceremony. Symptoms included behavioral changes and delusions that worsened over seven months before he required psychiatric hospitalization. He responded well to antipsychotic medication and was discharged with outpatient follow-up. Although psychosis induced by ayahuasca is rare, increasing access to the substance makes such cases more important to recognize.
