Ketamine Psychosis

This request for creation has been declined. Please do not modify it.
This request for creation has been reviewed. The reviewer comments appear below the article text. If you want to make changes and try again, copy and paste your article into a new submission and make your changes there. Ketamine, a dissociative anaesthetic in use since 1970, produces prominent psychoactive effects in humans. Its non-medical use has raised concerns in many countries, including Singapore. This article narrates the psychedelic and psychotic effects of ketamine in two ketamine dependent patients who have presented to the psychiatric service. These effects were dose-related and comprised multimodal hallucinatory experiences, a sense of slowing, paranoid ideation and enhancement of sexual, musical and sensory enjoyment. In both ketamine users the psychotic symptoms resolved quickly with symptom-targeted treatment. However, breaking the ongoing addiction cycle seemed more difficult.The neuro-pharmacological mechanisms of these phenomena are largely due to its complex multi-receptors actions, notably through the excitatory amino acids through mainly the N-methy-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors. The detection of ketamine abuse requires a high index of suspicion and needs to be considered when there is an acute presentation with multi- modal hallucinations and psychosis. KETAMINE USER 1 Alan Sum (not his real name), a Chinese man in his mid-thirties, ran his own successful business and was referred by his general practitioner for assessment and assistance to rid his problematic ketamine use. At the time of presentation, Alan described being “hooked desperately” onto ketamine for five months, which he had first come to know accidentally from the disco pubs. Within weeks he began snorting up to 4 grams of ketamine per day, sometimes as often as hourly. As a result of constant snorting he developed frequent epistaxis. He was unable to reduce or stop its repeated use despite the fact that he was spending up to 4,000 dollars per month on the drug and having to work even harder to keep his business going. Initially alcohol, benzodiazepines and marijuana were concomitantly used but soon ketamine became his sole preoccupation for at least two months until his presentation. Alan recounted a background history of multi- substance abuse, including “Ecstasy”, inhalants, benzodiazepines, marijuana, heroin and alcohol. He also reported compulsive sexual activities and used ketamine to enhance his sexual experiences. He was not known to have any other psychiatric or medical illnesses. Similarly there was a family history of multi-substance abuse but not that of any mental illness. He described his use of the drugs as a means to fill the void in his life produced by an absent father figure and a deprived childhood with constant financial constraints. The task of running a chain of business ventures left him stressed. Although driven and industrious, his self-esteem was, nevertheless, low. The varied psychedelic effects of ketamine he experienced included an immediate slowing effect followed by a sense of happiness, confidence and relaxation. The newly-found clarity of thought allowed him to plan his business expansion. This euphoric effect lasted about half an hour but soon waned with escalating use of ketamine and the placid effect progressively shortened. Auditory hallucinations – of a hostile god condemning him to hell and making other unpleasant commentaries – soon emerged, along with paranoid ideation, usually in relation to intoxication, and lasting sometimes for days. He experienced withdrawal symptoms of chills, autonomic arousal, lacrimation, restlessness, nightmares and psychological cravings whenever he attempted to stop ketamine. These symptoms drove him to seek further drug sources, and sent him desperately around different doctors looking for a cure. He was given Fluoxetine, Naltrexone, Chlorpromazine, and benzodiazepines by various doctors for temporary relief of these symptoms. Unable to stop its use, he came intermittently for follow-up when the psychotic symptoms became intolerable or when he feared getting into trouble with the law. Eventually he elected for an inpatient withdrawal of ketamine. During the brief stay of two days, his psychotic symptoms resolved quickly with Lorazepam 3 mg/day, Propranolol 40 mg/day, Diazepam 10 mg nocte and Naltrexone 50 mg/day. He defaulted follow-up thereafter. KETAMINE USER 2 Benny Chai (not his real name), a Chinese man in his early thirties and self-employed, presented with a four-month history of a rapidly escalating use of ketamine, coupled with multiple unsuccessful attempts to quit. He was arrested by the police for exhibiting abnormal talk and behaviour in public. Prior to the arrest he had gone to seek voluntary detoxification for ketamine from a general hospital. Benny shared that he had used ketamine to cope with multiple intercurrent psychosocial stressors which included a long-standing conflict with his family, low self-esteem and unresolved grief over his multiple childhood losses. He had initially used ketamine to enhance his enjoyment of techno-pop music and the taste of food but quickly developed tolerance with an escalating consumption up to 4 grams per day with peer encouragement, and an expenditure up to 3,000 dollars a month on the drug. He also gave a background history of benzodiazepines, codeine-based cough mixture, “Ecstasy”, alcohol, marijuana abuse and problem gambling. He had no history of any past psychiatric illness and no known family history of psychiatric or substance use disorders. Soon, Benny began to lose his sense of smell due to constant snorting of the drug. Olfactory and auditory hallucinations poorly defined initially but becoming clearer with progressive abuse, began to emerge. The latter took the form of a demon’s voice communicating with him, commanding and controlling him by “making his ear move”. During intoxication, he felt invincible and would experience his soul leaving the body, although sometimes unable to re-enter it. He described feeling himself becoming a cartoon character, “walking like a crab”. The aftermath of the intoxication was occasionally amnesic, often accompanied by dysphoria and a deep sense of guilt and frustration. Visual, olfactory and tactile hallucinations would appear one or two days following abstinence, and were promptly relieved by ketamine. In between doses, he resorted to alcohol and benzodiazepines to calm himself. After his arrest and while admitted to the hospital, he became increasingly restless and paranoid. He soon absconded from the ward because of a delusional perception that his mother had conspired with the hospital staff to harm him. He then proceeded to a fast food outlet and caused a disturbance there. On re-admission he was incoherent and behaviourally grossly disturbed, such that physical restraint was required due to the safety risk he posed. He insisted that people were trying to catch his soul and experienced intermittent visual and auditory hallucinations which seemingly “lasted for months”. The acute psychotic episode actually lasted six days and resolved with a short course of haloperidol up to 4.5 mg/day. Subsequently, he underwent a residential drug rehabilitation programme but, despite a promising start, defaulted after three months. Ketamine Psychosis is related to illnesses from drugs of a similar structure such as LSD. Ketamine has been reported to primarily block NMDA receptor complex giving support to a glutamate deficiency hypothesis in schizophrenia. In addition, ketamine caused increases in cortical and striatal synaptic dopamine concentrations. The effects of NMDA receptor antagonist administration are argued to support a neurobiological hypothesis of schizophrenia, which includes pathophysiology within several neurotransmitter systems, manifested in behavioral pathology. Pharmacological modulation of the effects of NMDA receptor antagonists, such as ketamine, may lead to development of novel therapeutic agents for psychiatric illnesses such as schizophrenia.

The time period between 1930s and 1950s was a tough period for many Australians and their families. It was the period of the Second World War and the depression. World War II as was a worldwide conflict fought between the Allied Powers and the Axis Pwowers, from 1939 until 1945. Armed forces from over seventy nations engaged in aerial, naval and ground-based combat. Spanning much of the globe, World War II resulted in the deaths of over 60 million people, making it the deadliest conflict in human history. Australia was a British nation. People in Australia were opposed to German expansion, but they were also very closely tied to Britain. When the British Government declared war, Prime Minister Menzies announced that ‘Australia was also at war’. With the coming of war, Australia had to make a decision: whether to look after home defence (there was a fear that Japan might try and expand its power), or to commit troops to help England. Japan had pledged its neutrality, and England had assured Australia that it was secure from Japan - the British naval base at Singapore would stop any Japanese advance towards Australia. So Australia committed itself to a European War. However also during this tough phase of Australian history the depression also hit hard on the “Aussie Battlers”. The great depression was an economic catastrophe that severely affected most nations of the world. Australia, with its extreme dependence on exports, particularly primary products such as wool and wheat, is thought to have been one of the hardest-hit countries in the Western world along with Canada and Germany. Unemployment reached a record high of 29% in 1932, one of the highest rates in the world. There were also incidents of civil unrest, particularly in Australia's largest city, Sydney. The depression left many homeless, poor, and out of jobs. The confrotational pictures painted by many different artists during the 1930s and 50s made people stand back and realise the pain and suffereing which Australian people faced in World War II and the depression. However also during this time images were painted which defined episodes in Australia’s nationalism, creating a sence of hope for many who had lost everything. Artists were experiementing and different movements were formed, two important ones during this era, were the Angry Penguins and Social Realists. The Angry Penguin painters are considered to be the major figures of a modernist movement in Australian art, which has determined and shaped Australian contemporary art. The Angry Penguins included Arthur Boyd, Sidney Nolan, Max Harris, John Perceval, Albert Tucker and Joy Hester. Their aim was to modernise Australian creative arts and poetry, and challenge traditions they saw as restrictive in Australia in the 1940s. The Angry Penguins adopted a spontaneous and visionary approach to their creative process. The symbolic surrealism in the works by Nolan, Boyd, Hester and Tucker added a new and exciting dimension to a somewhat stagnant Australian art scene. The Social Realists on the other hand were a [1]group of artists whos work dealt with critical social and political issues of the day. Noel Counihan was born in Albert Park, (October 14th, 1913) then a working class suburb of Melbourne. He studied part time under Charles Wheeler at the National Gallery of Victoria Art School in Melbourne. During 1930-31 he met the Social Realist Herbert McClintock and Roy Dalgarno. Counihan was also a Social Realist painter, and in 1931 Counihan became a confirmed atheist and a member of the party. He helped found the Workers Art Guild and begun printmaking, producing linocuts and lithographs for communist magazine covers and pamphlets as well as designing banners. From 1931 Counihan worked as a cartoonist for various publications including the bulletin and the communist party’s paper, The Guardian from 1945 to 1949 and again from 1952 to 1958. He spent extended periods in hospital with tuberculosis during the Second World War and with the encouragement of the artist Yosl Berneger Counihan began to paint. Counihan developed a personal style based on the social realist approach, producing compassionate images of workers and their lives during the great depression. Counihan maintained that the artist had a duty to “gather information from the political developments of that time’’. For most of his life Counihan’s use of colour was restrained and his short expressionistic brush strokes suited the subjects of his works and became his signature style. This style can be clearly seen in one of his best known works ‘At the Start of the March 1932’ still remains to this day as one of the most powerful images painted during these period. Counihan died in 1986 on July the 5th. The Counihan gallery, managed by the city of Moreland council is named in his honour. A free speech memorial has also been built to commemorate the free speech fights by the unemployed in 1933 and Noel Counihan’s part in them. ‘The start of the march 1932’ was painted in 1944, oil on hardboard, and is 66.9cm by59.2cm long. This painting deals with the issues of the great depression in particular in the mid 1930s. This was a time of extreme hardship for many people in Australia, and Counihan wanted to show just how bad this period really was. Through the structural from of the work we can see that the family in the foreground is separated from the rest of the world, highlighting their isolation and loneliness. The family is obviously poor and we can gather this by their old, raggy, clothing. The little boy also reinforces the idea of how poor this family is. The little boy appears to have no shoes on at all, and the position he is standing in conveys his hunger, coldness, and the possibility he could be injured. The dark harsh colours also used in this painting also convey the harshness and hardships faces by not only this family, but other family’s during this time. This family is a metaphor for the many other family’s, who were doing it tough as well. In the background of this painting we see many other men lining up. Counihan has painted this to show these men are actually protesting against the horrible working conditions they face. Counihan uses short expressionistic brush strokes which also add to the intensity of the painting, showing the harsh reality of the past and the sacrifice these people made. This work really makes the audience think about the past and to feel for the poor Australians who had to face the conditions of the depression. It makes the audience realise how lucky they actually are to be living in the present and not in the past. It also relates to the rest of the world as it was not just Australia that was facing the great depression but the rest of the world too. Counihan explores issues of the great depression, and the collapse in the economy through the cultural frame. Even before the devastating stock market crash on Wall Street, unemployment in Australia was already at 10 %. The Wall Street crash in October 1929 signalled the beginning of a severe depression for the whole industrialised world. Much of the unemployment experience of the depression can be accounted for by workers who moved in and out of periods of employment and unemployment that lasted for weeks or months- these individuals were the ones who suffered financially. The great depressions impact on society was devastating. Without work and a steady income many people lost their homes and were forced to live in makeshift dwellings with poor heating and sanitation. This theme is highlighted in Counihan’s work ‘At the Start of the March 1932’ , making it the most memorable art created at this time where Counihan portrayed urban poverty and unhappiness in the starkest terms, without demeaning the dignity of the workers and the unemployed. Another issue raised in Counihan’s work through the culture frame is the International Workers Day (a name used interchangeably with May Day). On this day a complete stoppage of work took place and many workers protested about the appalling working conditions that they faced. Chummy Fleming, the Melbourne anarchist who first initiated the ‘May Day’ march, led the procession carrying his red and white flag. This historical stoppage can be seen in Counihan’s work which explains why all the workers are following the red and white flag (at the top right of the painting).May Day was a day where the workers could state their opinions about work. It was a day in honour of the bitter struggles and Counihan shows this through the sufferings of the past. Counihan’s work concentrates on the harsh reality of the past but also celebrates the evolution our identity and the typical “Aussie Battler”. Sidney Nolan was born in 1917 in Carlton, Victoria. In the mid 1930s Nolan studies at the National Gallery of Victoria after hours while working in the art department of a hat factory. His first patrons were John and Sunday Reed from Heide Gallery and he exhibited with the Contemporary Art Society from 1939-1949. His career was interrupted by his war service, and following this, in 1945 he begun his best known series of works based on Ned Kelly and the bushranger legend. The series of works were exhibited in Paris in 1948 and in 1951. Nolan held his first exhibition at the Redfern Gallery starting his international success. He is represented in the National Gallery of Australia, London, Museum of Modern Art, New York and numerous other private and cooperate collections, both nationally and international. Nolan’s ‘Ned Kelly’ series follow the main sequence of the Kelly story. However Nolan did not intend the series to be an ‘authentic’ depiction of these events. Rather these episodes/series became the setting for the artist’s meditations upon universal themes of injustice, love and betrayal. The Kelly saga was also a way for Nolan to paint the Australian landscape in new ways, with the story giving meaning to the place. Although the depression and World War II happened during this period, Nolan decided to concentrate on something different other than people struggling in life. Nolan wanted to create and define episodes in Australian nationalism, to retell the story of a hero. A hero which now has became a metaphor for humankind- the fighter, the victim, and the hero- resisting tyranny with a passion for freedom. There are a total of 45 paintings in Nolan’s series but I have decided to concentrate on ‘Kelly and Horse’. It was painted in 1946, ripolin on board and is 92.1cm by 122.4 cm. This whole Ned Kelly series is painted on hard composition board using a high grade enamel paint called ripolion. This was often used on cars and boats. Ripolin was extremely fast drying and therefore demanded an immediacy of execution. It allowed a great colour range and being very fluid, the canvas or board had to be lying flat while it was being painted. Nolan recognised that the conceptual image of the black square (Kelly’s helmet and armour) had been part of modern art since world war one. Nolan just placed a pair of eyes into Kelly’s helmet which animates its formal shape. As in most of the series, Kelly’s steel head guard dominates the composition. Nolan also concentrates on the Australian outback and shows a different landscape in nearly every painting. Nolan’s paintings give the audience an insight into the history of Australia but also show others from the world how beautiful Australia is. The intensity of the colours of the land and bush along with its overall smooth texture help create harmony between legend, symbol and visual impact. Kelly is in the centre of the painting but the colours around him help make him stand out. It’s a very simplistic picture but highlights that Ned Kelly is an Australian icon. Nolan never relied upon one style or technique but rather experimented throughout his lifetime with many different methods of application and also devised some of his own. Nolan was inspired by children’s art and modernist painting of the early 20th centaury. During this time many younger artists were veering towards abstraction, Nolan remained committed to the fugartive potential of painting. In terms of art history Nolan rediscovered the Australian landscape (Australia has not been an easy country to paint). his love of literature is seen as visually evident in Nolan's work. Other key influences were the modernist artists such as Paul Cézanne, Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse and Henri Rousseau. Locally the arrival of the Russian artist Danila Vassilieff in Melbourne, with his simple and direct art, was significant for Nolan. Through the subjective frame the series is a lot deeper and personal than what meets the eye. In his series, Kelly is a metaphor for Nolan himself. Nolan, like the bushranger, was a fugitive from the law. In July 1944 Nolan faced the possibility that he would be sent to Papua New Guinea on front line duty, so Nolan went absent with out leave. So when Nolan created this series he viewed himself as the misunderstood hero/artist like the protagonist, Kelly. ‘Nolan like this Kelly figure has also been a hero, a victim, a man who armoured himself against Australia and who faced it, conquered it, lost it…. ambiguity personified’ (the bulletin 29th December 1962). Nolan’s Ned Kelly series is one of the greatest sequences of Australian paintings of the 20th centuary. His simplified depiction of Kelly in his armour has become an iconic Australian image. Noel Counihan and Sidney Nolan are two artists who painted in the same time period but produced two total different paintings depicting Australia at that time. Counihan concentrates on the hardships faced by the Australians during the depression showing the audience and the world how people suffered whilst Nolan takes a lighter approach and decides to veer from painting images of Australian struggling for freedom, and painted an image, or series of images of the famous Australian bush ranger, Ned Kelly which gives an insight to the audience and the world of the Australian history and the Australian landscape. These paintings are both are iconic Australian images as they both represent Australian, and the “Aussie Battlers”, who are also heroes. His works were hailed in Paris as ‘a revelation…the work of a true poet and painter’ and a strikingly original ‘contribution to modern art’. These two artists were in two different movements as well. Counihan was a social realist, concentrating on the effects on all Australians during the depression, and their associated casualties of homelessness, unemployment and general social dislocation. Where as Nolan was in a group called the Angry Penguins, and painted “new paintings of Australia”, these painters were the rebels of their day and wanted to be heard and seen. Even though they belonged to two different movements these artists have created images that document periods in Australian history. They make the audiences take in their paintings and think about them in more detail and depth. Counihan shows us the Aussie battler, whilst Nolan creates a sence of nationalism with his Kelly series. These paintings highlight the past, but the significance of the past and the changes that have occurred to get Australia to the place you and I live in today. The 1930s to the 1950s was defiantly a physical and mentally challenging time for many Australians. Many artists decided to paint either about the war, and depression or the mental affects of both. The art work during this period is extremely significant to our Australian history and heritage. Counihan’s ‘At the Start of the March 1932’ has a strong impact on the audience, as it takes them back into the past and really makes them aware of what really happened. Nolan on the other hand has created a collection of work that defines Australians nationalism, and created a sense of hope for many struggling, as they now had a hero, to look up too, someone to help the many Aussie battlers get through this stage in their life. They are both beautiful artworks that define Australians history and communicate aspects of Australian history and/or culture that we might not have been aware of previously.

A LIVING PROPHET Andrew Wutawunashe, a student of his times, who against all odds: critics, popular opinions, and analysis based on hungry stomachs has continued to oracle and support everything that ushers economic freedom to black poeple. One thread is evident in the life of Andrew: series of visitations; from time to time, season to season the Lord surely visits him. Visitations of the Lord that were defining moments in his life; 1974, on the 6th June, deep in rural Masvingo, Zimbabwe, God visited him with salvation. ln the closing years of the 70's, while in West Africa, Sierra Leone, God called him to GO TELL PEOPLE THAT THERE IS GOD. Out of that apostolic calling; Worldwide Family of God Churches were birthed. Remarkable today the Worldwide Family of God Churches are in all SADC Countries with over 400 chuches worldwide. Centuries ago, seed of the Word of God was sown in Africa, now it is time to harvest that seed, as we witness a Christain revival from Africa, to use the words of a living prophet. later on, God told him to break the borders of Africa in his mind, begining in southern Africa and raise up a new generation of believers who would change the painful face of Africa through the wisdom and power of Jesus Christ. Prophet Andrew Wutawunashe belifes God 'll bless everything that he and those who work with him are doing to liftup the lives of black people. A prayer that he loves to share, are words he wrote in a visitor's book, at a castle-dock (were African slaves used to be auctioned) in Accra, Ghana; "May God give us the wisdom to reclaim the wealth of Africa". A living prophet with a message that liberates the minds of the people of Africa - the battle for the minds of the people of Africa.
