Abstract
Khat is a drug endemic in East Africa, whose active ingredient has amphetamine-like effects. Khat might induce psychosis, but there is no consensus about this in the literature. Two cases of suspected khat-induced psychosis are presented. Treatment of choice appears to be discontinuation of khat use, possibly combined with treatment with an antipsychotic.Entities:
