Coffee drinking could lead to a mental disorder. If you experience five or more symptoms, such as red face, nervousness and restlessness, during or right after your cup of Joe, you may be diagnosed with coffee intoxication.
Coffee-drinkers, beware: Your caffeine habit could induce a temporary
mental disorder. The new edition of the mental health manual, the DSM-5,
lists caffeine intoxication among the many disorders known to
psychiatry.
Restlessness, nervousness, excitement, red face, gastrointestinal
upset, muscle twitching, rambling speech, sleeplessness, rapid and
irregular heartbeat and other symptoms may be familiar to many of us,
but they are telltale signs of caffeine intoxication.
Specifically, a coffee drinker who experiences five or more of these
symptoms during or shortly after consuming caffeine could be diagnosed
with caffeine intoxication. The intoxication must also meet a standard
DSM test: It must cause distress or impair the drinker's ability to
function. [10 Odd Facts About Coffee]
