A young patient who used a large amount of psilocybin developed a first psychotic and manic episode complicated by violent behavior and rhabdomyolysis. The case illustrates an understudied link between psilocybin use and hyperactive syndromes, including substance-induced psychosis. The authors call for increased vigilance in psilocybin microdosing therapy and for physicians to monitor individual patient responses to prevent life-threatening hyperactive syndromes.
