HPPD, or Hallucinogen Persisting Perception Disorder, is a DSM-5 diagnosis that describes a debilitating possible side effect from psychedelic drugs. Affecting an unknown number of people - perhaps as many as 1 in 25 - HPPD is characterised by significant changes in visual processing long after a trip has ended that create distress, impairment and dysfunction in people's lives. What's going on? What could help? And how should psychonauts discuss - or prepare for - such a risk?
Ed Prideaux is a Master’s student in Psychology at the University of East London with a background in journalism. Ed is currently focused on researching and addressing the problems, possibilities and questions raised by HPPD: a broad, under-researched and not entirely uncommon condition in which people experience sustained and distressing changes to their visual perception (among other effects) after psychedelic trips. Ed has lived with these visual effects for nearly seven years, and is affiliated with a nonprofit launched last year to promote harm reduction around HPPD called the Perception Restoration Foundation.
