Thank you because i was told my psychosis was caused by stress but i have drug induced psychosis and this helped make sense of that

I was a long time psychonaut, never really had a bad trip until i decided to try a heroic dose of shrooms, acid and DMT in one night. It shot me into a psychotic episode that lasted 3 months. I thought i was trapped in a movie, I smashed my house up, got arrested and taken into an ambulance, for some reason i stripped naked, escaped the ambulance and ran into a moving car, somehow I wasn't hurt i kept running until the police tasered me it took like 10 police to subdue me, I couldn't breathe and in the moment thought I was George Floyd being killed again. I was then taken to hospital and strapped to a bed, I thought I was literally Jesus being crucified, I was absolutely terrified. My family thought i was never coming back. I've never touched drugs since that episode. Any professional Doctor whom insinuates that psychadelics are harmeless should lose their jobs and be banned from practicing.

Ive seen it first hand. I was doing p*nis envy mushrooms with my ex. He went to have a shower and started to think his apartment was flooding. He was naked and walking around, thinking the cops were coming and he needed to run outside. At one point, while we were lying in bed together just watching tv, he punched me in the face for no reason. Things can get scary when you dont know what kind of person youre dealing with :/

I had a manic episode and was hospitalized just a month ago. I’ve no idea if it was caused by the shrooms I took December of last year

This is a great point! Could you provide sources for the claim about the number of diagnosis
