| Popis: | Methods: We performed a review on caffeine-induced psychosis using MEDLINE, Pubmed, and OVID with different word combinations including: ‘‘caffeine,’’ ‘‘psychosis,’’ ‘‘delusions,’’ ‘‘agitation,’’ ‘‘intoxication.’’ In addition, we present a case of a previously healthy 29-year-old man who developed an abrupt onset of paranoid delusions, thought disorganization, and bizarre behavior after increasing his caffeine intake to >1500 mg per day over a period of 2 days. During the psychotic episode, the patient accidentally shot himself in the chest and was rushed to the hospital. Thyroid tests, toxicology, blood, and urine work-up excluded other conditions that could have triggered the psychosis. There is no personal or family history of psychiatric illness or substance use. Furthermore, the patient and family denied any suicidal intention or psychiatric symptoms before this episode. |
