WHAT IS HPPD?
Hallucinogen Persisting Perception Disorder (HPPD) is an underreported and often misdiagnosed mental disorder that afflicts past users of hallucinogenic drugs. HPPD is characterized by severe (and often permanent) visual and perceptual symptoms . The complexities of this condition combined with the lack of specialists to treat HPPD spur serious concerns for the future of a growing population of sufferers. It is a priority for practitioners to become aware of recent and abundant medical research on the topic of HPPD so they can properly diagnosis and address the needs of their patients.
