Not very reliable, as this is also what old wives tales and urban legends claim too ("I know this guy/gal that...").
In this case for example, you might really know that woman, and she might have been a junior at Dartmouth that had those issues, but unless you were there with her that day, there's no way to know whether she did take LSD that night (or something else, or even nothing), or whether she didn't have any issues before, etc. It could just be some rumor people tell about here, or what she wanted other people to know about it (e.g. not to admit a mental illness but instead cover it with "had bad acid").
Let's rather stick to the medical literature that describes several cases of LSD use, how it affected or brought up psychosis, etc (and after what frequence of use, and with what mental issues the patient had before, etc).
