Definitely not the case for the people I know. One trip caused permanent psychosis in one case.

no studies found.
I'm not sure what this is responding to. The prior comments were asking about details around potential permanent psychiatric issues. There's some stuff in here about psychosis turning into schizophrenia, etc. It's rare, but we also can't dismiss it.

Yes, it is. Psychotic disorders aren't pretty and they're often permanent. They can go into remission, though.
