Meth Use and Strange Behavior
One of the greatest concerns meth causes among Moreno Valley law enforcement and mental health professionals is the behavior of meth users. Continued methamphetamine use often produces strange behavior due to brain damage. A survey notes 40% of meth users experience psychotic symptoms. These symptoms are usually:
- Hallucinations
- Delusions
- Isolation
- Aggression
- Paranoid behavior
Visual and auditory hallucinations are common with heavy meth users. To illustrate the severity of hallucinations, a long-time meth user nay feel they are touching an object that doesn’t exist. In some cases, they may see things that aren’t there. In rare, cases they may hear things that do not exist. The scarring from meth on meth users’ skin stems from them picking at their skin.
There are numerous reports of meth users picking at their skin because they thought bugs were crawling under their skin. This form of a tactile hallucination is known as “meth bugs” or “meth mites.” Some people have injured themselves with share objects, determined to get the bugs out of their skin.
Lastly, delusions and obsessions happen often because of using meth. People suffering with meth abuse may feel someone is out to get them, undergoing symptoms of paranoia. Sadly, the effects of meth psychosis may not be reversible without treatment, therapy and medication.
