Study Design: Cross sectional analytic study. Place and Duration of Study: Combined Military Hospital, Quetta, from Aug 2018 to Jan 2019.

A total of 134 patients of methamphetamine use were studied after consent, using Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS). Data was entered in a specially designed semi structured proforma. The data was analysed by using One Way Anova Calculator. Results: Psychotic symptoms were found in 42 (31.3%) enrolled patients in our study.
