| Abstrakt: |
Amphetamine comes to its climax in the amphetamine psychosis which, with its delusions and hallucinations, is no less than schizophrenia, or rather paranoid schizophrenia when the delusions are auditory, as they usually are. But in the beginning, when things are not all black, amphetamine abuse gets the consumer into a series of hypomanic episodes characterized by euphoria, alertness, an overwhelming sense of well-being and, in terms of communication, a speech that, excessive as it is, could be described as pressured, with the speaker giving in to his flight of ideas and an overcoming sense of distractibility.
