Is it possible to develop anxiety, or post traumatic stress disorder from a bad trip or a panic track on drugs?

I suffer from anxiety, disturbing thoughts, derealization, depersonlization, depression, and constant worrying. I avoid thinking or talking about about the experience at all costs, and I have a bunch of physical symptoms and insomnia.

You should consult a clinical psychologist or a psychiatrist urgently.

Been there done that. I had depression for years before I started doiing drugs at 14, but they made things a lot worse. And im convinced its the main cause of my paranoia and OCD.(though theres no scientific evidence that says drugs actually cause things like OCD, its related) I started having panic attacks after i did drugs, before then i never had them. drugs have a complicated relationship to our mental health. i hope you’re recieving help for your problems. (it really helps ) I once asked my psychologist a similar question and he said that techincally there is no solid evidence that supports a direct link between mental illness like anxiety disorders and drug use(as in the drugs causing the illness) but that they did know there was a relation. My personal opinion based on my own experiences is that yes you can get things like post traumatic stress disorder and other illness’. If you can get drug inducced psychosis why not PTSD?

yes you can. Any traumatic event, halucinated or real can cause PTSD and other symptoms. I know where you are coming from. I have a disocative disorder. Your brain convinces itself that the drug related hhalucination is real. Feel free to email me for answers or support. I have encluded a website that is amazing for support.

I have to respectfully disagree with the majority here.
Statistic significance is very important when it comes to making connections between two unrelated events.
Studies have been done between drugs and mental disorders for a long time with no significant findings.
But, like that psychologist said, there is a connection… I’m sure this is his opinion from experience. I would venture to make this connection (this is from my experience): People who do drugs are usually too passive to solve their problems and deal with life in a healthy way so they do drugs to escape. People who are passive and can’t deal with problems in a healthy manner also tend to have anxiety. These are far fetched connections, but they come from my experience and people who I’ve spoken to.
I have never done drugs, but when I had anxiety I always thought it would be a great way to relax. I no longer suffer from panic attacks and I’m glad I never tried drugs to relax myself. It took a different more active kind of effort and I learned a lot from the experience.
