A 43-year-old woman experienced a psychotic episode two days after her third ayahuasca session in a ritual context. Symptoms included loss of consciousness, convulsions, weakness and numbness on the right side, and delusions of electromagnetic fields draining her life force. She required four days in intensive care, then was hospitalized and treated with risperidone 1.5 mg, leading to complete symptom remission. The case aligns with other reports of ayahuasca-induced psychosis, though with less intensity and duration. The rising use of ayahuasca in non-controlled and recreational settings warrants clinical awareness.
