Share information about substance use and anxiety. If the young person has shared that they might use substances or drink alcohol, let them know that: – Stimulants such as cocaine and amphetamines and powerful hallucinogens like LSD or ‘magic mushrooms’ induce anxiety. – Cannabis intensifies emotions and so can worsen signs of anxiety or cause feelings of paranoia. This can lead to panic attacks.
