Drug abuse, including alcohol and prescription drugs can induce symptoms which resembles mental

these substance induced psychiatric disorders can persist long after detoxification, such as prolonged
psychosis or depression after amphetamine or cocaine abuse. A protracted withdrawal syndrome can
also occur with symptoms persisting for months after cessation of use. Benzodiazepines are the most
notable drug for inducing prolonged withdrawal effects with symptoms sometimes persisting for years
after cessation of use. Abuse of hallucinogens can trigger delusional and other psychotic phenomena
long after cessation of use and cannabis may trigger panic attacks during intoxication and with use it
may cause a state similar to dysthymia. Severe anxiety and depression are commonly induced by
sustained alcohol abuse which in most cases abates with prolonged abstinence. Even moderate alcohol
sustained use may increase anxiety and depression levels in some individuals. In most cases these drug
induced psychiatric disorders fade away with prolonged abstinence.
