HPPD has been observed more frequently in adolescents who use [[psychedelics]]<ref>https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/frcha.2024.1364617/abstract</ref>. After a single use of substances such as [[LSD]], [[psilocybin]], or [[cannabis]], individuals are at an increased risk of developing HPPD. The condition appears to be more common among those with a history of psychological disorders or substance misuse, though its precise neurological mechanisms remain unclear. | |||
Currently, there is no standardized treatment for HPPD. However, some interventions show promise, including lamotrigine, benzodiazepines, and non-invasive brain stimulation. Research on these treatments is limited due to the rarity of the condition and the variability of its symptoms. | |||
