Résumé
This case report details a patient with a complex medical history who was brought for psychiatric evaluation. An abrupt switch in Kratom use patterns was identified as the most likely causative factor of his symptoms. Adrenal insufficiency and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) were considered both in the differential and potential confounding factors in his presentation. This paper discusses current Kratom use trends in the United States, the drug's legal status, and the common reasons patients may use it. Additionally, research gaps regarding the safety and efficacy of Kratom's use for self-medication are addressed.
