The buildup of that over a period of days (before the kidneys can catch up to remove it) can cause intrusive thoughts.
I have found over the years that cutting 1 or 2 lemons in half and squeezing them into about 8 oz of water and drinking that will help reduce the acidity of the fluids and tissues, calming the thoughts strongly. If it hasn't worked within 4 hours, repeat the process, and you should have relief.
It does work for some bipolar patients. (I keep about a dozen lemons in my
refrigerator at any one time!)
Take care and I hope you feel better.
Please discuss these thoughts with your psyciatrist because some other chemical problem could be going on that he needs to investigate with you.
