I always thought psychedelics were not recommended for people with bipolar disorder. Apparently they can help with this issue as well!

"Another unfortunate young lady, still only 15, was a sufferer of hallucinations, paranoia and bipolar disorder. At a party, she was accidentally given ten times the intended dose (always check your decimal places!). She then drank the leftovers from a couple of other glasses. That’s a lot of LSD for a young girl.

Again, there was little deliberate movement in the hours to come – about six hours this time - with her appearing to have a seizure, and she was taken to hospital in an ambulance.

It’s unclear if she really was having a seizure, or just reacting to the intense journey she was on inside her head. When she became coherent again, she found her father sat beside her hospital bed.

“It’s over,” she reportedly said to her father when she came around, who thought she was talking about her massive LSD experience. But she wasn’t referring to that at all. The thing that was now over was her bipolar disorder – and she remained clear of her mental health issues for the next 13 years."
