Extract

Introduction Much has been written in the last ten years on the deleterious effects of high doses of amphetamine drugs on brain function. The majority of published cases of amphetamine psychosis have been cases of addiction or illicit drug taking, thereby making a good premorbid personality questionable and unlikely. Amphetamine psychoses and their association with delinquency was the subject of a paper by Scott and Willcox (1965).
