THE
CLINICAL FEATURES OF PSYCHOSES DUE To HASHISH.
M.G. STRINGARIS,
Arch.
f. Psychiat. 100:522 (Sept.) 1933.
Stringaris
had an opportunity to study a large number of persons in Greece who were
addicted to the use of hashish, this type of drug addiction apparently being
common in that country. He found
that addiction to the drug predisposes to the formation of groups, the addicts
rarely using it in solitude. Chronic
addiction is particularly frequent in persons who begin to use the drug before
the eighteenth year of life. Persons
of a roaming, shiftless type are particularly apt to become addicted to it. Acute
intoxication is characterized by euphoria, increased motor activity,
excitability, talkativeness, laughter and appetite.
Hallucinatory and delusional experiences are frequent.
Occasionally, especially in persons who suffer from chronic addiction,
depression instead of euphoria will occur.
Chronic use of the drug leads to definite changes of personality.
There are decrease in judgment and
hyperirritability, with childish outbursts of anger and assaultiveness.
There is gradually increasing suspiciousness and paranoid attitude, with
a pronounced increase in sexual excitement.
Occasionally definite psychoses occur; the author classifies these into
two groups: (1) episodic psychoses, which may take the form of hallucinatory or
acute twilight conditions, with excitability and furor; (2) the chronic type,
which may last for months or even years and follow prolonged use of the drug.
The symptoms are not unlike those in cases of schizophrenia, with bizarre
hallucinations and delusions, impulsive and compulsive phenomena, paranoid
formations, fear reactions, etc. Differentiation
between them and transitory schizophrenic episodes is difficult, and it is
questionable whether such psychoses do not develop primarily in schizoid
personalities, the drug acting mainly as a precipitating agent. -- Malamud, Iowa City.
