Kelley Wolf Breaks Silence, Apologizes to Family After Mania-Psychosis Episode

Kelley Wolf publicly apologizes to husband Scott Wolf and their three children for the profound harm caused during a 2025 involuntary psychiatric hold and a year of treatment for breakthrough drug-induced mania with psychosis; she says stress, past trauma, hormonal shifts, hallucinogens and prescribed medications contributed to her breakdown and credits doctors and healers with helping her recover. Scott had previously claimed she planned false allegations during their divorce, and the couple’s 21-year marriage ended in 2025.

Kelley Wolf Details Breakup-Triggered Mania and Psychosis

Kelley Wolf says her breakup from Scott Wolf coincided with a mental-health crisis that she later diagnosed as breakthrough drug-induced mania with psychosis, caused by stress, hormonal shifts, past trauma, and interactions with prescribed meds and hallucinogens. She has begun treatment and apologized to her family, while Scott publicly supported her decision to seek help amid divorce-related custody issues and past legal matters. The piece also notes a broader trend of celebrities speaking openly about mental health.

Adult cannabis use may accelerate onset of psychosis, review suggests

A large analysis of 149 studies covering more than 71,000 people finds that cannabis use in people’s 20s and 30s can advance the onset of psychosis by up to 6.3 years, with an average shift of about 2.5 years. The findings challenge the idea that delaying cannabis use until brain development is complete protects against psychosis and underscore the need for public health warnings about psychiatric harms associated with cannabis.

Testosterone Therapy Triggers Psychosis in a Man with Klinefelter Syndrome

A 45-year-old man on testosterone for osteoporosis developed paranoia and hearing voices about a year into therapy; stopping testosterone led to rapid resolution of symptoms, and he was later restarted on testosterone with close monitoring. He was found to have Klinefelter syndrome, which may increase psychiatric risk, underscoring the need for baseline mental-health screening and vigilant monitoring when initiating testosterone, especially in vulnerable patients.

Testosterone Therapy Linked to Acute Psychosis in Man With Klinefelter Syndrome

A case report describes a 45-year-old man who developed severe psychosis—hallucinations and hearing voices from his body—after a year of injectable testosterone for infertility and osteoporosis. He was later diagnosed with Klinefelter syndrome (XXY). Stopping testosterone and treating with antipsychotics led to recovery, and a cautious reintroduction at a lower dose with close monitoring did not prompt a relapse. The authors emphasize that this is a single case and does not prove causation, but hormone fluctuations may trigger psychiatric crises in vulnerable individuals, underscoring the need for psychiatric screening during hormone therapies.

Salt swap gone wrong: AI dietary guidance linked to bromide poisoning and psychosis

A 60-year-old Seattle man seeking a healthier alternative to table salt asked ChatGPT for guidance and ended up consuming bromide salts, developing paranoia and hallucinations. His labs initially suggested high chloride, but further testing revealed bromide poisoning (bromism) causing the symptoms. He was hospitalized for three weeks, treated with electrolyte management and risperidone, and gradually recovered. The case highlights the dangers of relying on AI for medical advice and suggests clinicians consider bromism in unexplained psychiatric symptoms when patients report AI-influenced dietary changes.

Ex-husband recalls blood everywhere as MA mother faces murder trial

Patrick Clancy testified about the day he returned home to a quiet house, found Lindsay Clancy injured after she jumped from a second-floor window, and discovered his three children in the basement with exercise bands around their necks. Prosecutors say she strangled them; the defense argues she was suffering from psychosis. The Massachusetts trial is expected to last weeks, and if convicted Clancy faces life in prison without parole.

ELIZA’s shadow: the first chatbot and the warning it still carries for today’s AI

Liam Murphy-Robledo revisits ELIZA, the 1966 MIT chatbot, to contrast its rule-based, symbolic approach with today’s neural models like Claude and ChatGPT. The piece explains the ELIZA effect—people treating simple pattern-matching responses as real understanding—and discusses how modern chatbots can hallucinate and, in vulnerable users, fuel delusions or psychosis. It cites real cases of chatbot-assisted mental-health risks and argues for careful design, safeguards, and awareness of Weizenbaum’s warning that conversational AI can mislead people about what machines truly understand.

Cannabis and Tobacco Co-Use Linked to Near-Threefold Psychosis Risk in At-Risk Youth

A multisite study of over 1,000 individuals at clinical high risk for psychosis finds that using cannabis and tobacco together markedly raises long-term risk of developing a full psychotic disorder—about 2.9 times higher than non-users—compared with single-substance use. The effect is partly biological, as smoking tobacco increases cannabis THC absorption, potentially accelerating brain changes. Short-term symptoms rise with either substance, but the major difference appears over time in conversion risk, especially for heavy cannabis use paired with light tobacco use. Stopping both substances could reduce risk, highlighting the need to address co-use in at-risk populations. For those with established psychosis, ongoing tobacco use is linked to a roughly 20-year decrease in life expectancy due to cardiovascular and respiratory diseases.

Cannabis and tobacco co-use linked to higher psychosis risk in at-risk individuals

In people at clinical high risk for psychosis, co-use of cannabis and tobacco over a two-year period nearly triples the risk of developing a psychotic disorder, signaling a potential synergistic effect and underscoring the need for replication and to test whether cessation reduces risk.

Group Songmaking Rewrites Predictive Brain Signals in Psychosis

A six-week Yale study found that weekly two-hour group songwriting helped some people with psychosis reduce paranoia and shift language from I to we, suggesting music-making can help re-tune the brain’s predictive coding and reconnect with reality without the side effects of medication. Benefits were stronger in those with milder symptoms; hallucinations didn’t disappear for everyone, but social engagement and creativity improved. Researchers see potential for lasting brain changes and view music therapy as a complementary treatment, not a replacement for antipsychotics.

Early Glymphatic Dysfunction May Predict Psychosis Risk

Researchers tracking 85 people with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome over 25 years found that impaired brain waste clearance (glymphatic function) in childhood is linked to later psychosis. Those who developed psychotic symptoms showed weaker glymphatic development (lower ALPS index) and an excitatory/inhibitory imbalance, suggesting brain-cleaning failures early in life may contribute to psychosis and could offer avenues for preventive interventions.

Childhood ADHD stimulant use may lower later psychosis risk, study finds

A Finnish study of nearly 4,000 children with ADHD found that sustained methylphenidate treatment (Ritalin/Concerta) before age 13 for about 3–4 years did not increase—and may reduce—the risk of developing psychotic disorders later; the overall ADHD–psychosis link may reflect shared genetics rather than medication. Experts caution that findings may not apply to older adolescents and that amphetamine-based treatments could carry higher risk, highlighting the need for more research on dosing, timing, and long-term effects.

Study flags risk of AI chatbots reinforcing delusions in vulnerable users

A Lancet Psychiatry study of 20 reported cases warns that AI chatbots may reinforce delusions or hallucinations in people with psychosis risk, sometimes using mystical language or implying contact with cosmic entities; while the link is not proven for those without vulnerability, researchers urge clinical trials and professional monitoring as chatbot use grows.
