[Acute psychosis with aggressive behavior as a consequence of MDMA (Ecstasy) consumption].
Presented is a case of acute paranoid psychosis in a patient who took MDMA (Ecstasy), became violent and was prosecuted by law. After the repeated intake of MDMA, the second psychotic episode occurred, or maybe even several episodes (about which we have no data). The patient reacted well and fast to the therapy was normal. Those who had psychotic reactions after taking MDMA have a great chance to react in the same way when taking the drug again. Other authors present similar observations. This article is aimed to warn our expert population to seemingly approaching greater wave of Ecstasy drug, as well as to point to its consequences and treatment.
