A Case of Panic Attacks Developing After 10 Years of Chronic Cannabis Use in a Patient With No Prior Psychiatric History
Key Findings: This report presented the case of a patient with a 10-year history of cannabis use, no psychiatric history, who developed panic attacks 2 years after cessation of cannabis. With other causative factors ruled out, they were diagnosed with presumed cannabis-induced anxiety/panic disorder.
