AbstractInternet addiction is a newly emergent disorder. It has been found to be associated with a variety of psychiatric disorders. Information about such coexisting psychiatric disorders is essential to understand the mechanism of Internet addiction. In this review, we have recruited articles mentioning coexisting psychiatric disorders of Internet addiction from the PubMed database as at November 3, 2009. We describe the updated results for such disorders of Internet addiction, which include substance use disorder, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, depression, hostility, and social anxiety disorder. We also provide discussion for possible mechanisms accounting for the coexistence of psychiatric disorders and Internet addiction. The review might suggest that combined psychiatric disorders mentioned above should be evaluated and treated to prevent their deteriorating effect on the prognosis of Internet addiction. On the other hand, Internet addiction should be paid more attention to when treating people with these coexisting psychiatric disorders of Internet addiction. Additionally, we also suggest future necessary research directions that could provide further important information for the understanding of this issue.

ABSTRACT Objective The executive functions (EF) and emotion regulation (ER) and their relationship with the substance use disorder (SUD) were analyzed. Methods A cross-sectional design was used. The sample consisted of 130 volunteers divided into three groups: group 01 (n = 60), composed of participants who did not meet the diagnostic criteria for any type of SUD; group 02 (n = 51), with users with alcohol and/or tobacco use disorder; group 03 (n = 19), with users with multiple substance use disorder, including at least one illicit substance. Results Group 02 presented worse performance in EF and ER when compared to group 01, and showed a significant correlation between the working memory and the use of maladaptive ER. Group 03 showed great losses in EF and ER when compared to the other groups. Conclusion This study supports the idea that EF, ER and SUD are related. In addition, it was observed that people with SUD had worse performance in EF and ER when compared to people without SUD, greater damage being observed in people with SUD of polysubstances.

The term “co-occurring disorders” refers to the presence of a psychiatric disorder and a substance use disorder. A psychiatric disorder increases the risk of a substance use disorder and vice versa. Treating one disorder improves the outcomes in treating the other. Psychiatric medications can be both effective and appropriate in treating the psychiatric disorder in people with co-occurring disorders. Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) can treat effectively the substance use disorder in people with co-occurring disorders. The goals of this chapter are to learn about the different types of psychiatric disorders, to learn about the causes of psychiatric disorders, and to assess the client’s psychiatric symptoms, if applicable.

ABSTRACT Objective: To assess the association between the presence of drug use and the dimensions of mindfulness in a population of students of technical education in nursing. Method: Correlational study conducted in a teaching institution in the inlands of the state of São Paulo, in 2017. Participants were 135 students for which the ASSIST questionnaire with personal characterization data and the Mindfulness Five-facet Questionnaire were applied. Data were analyzed with use of descriptive and analytical statistics. Results: The most used drugs were alcohol, tobacco and cannabis. The lowest score for mindfulness was 49 and the maximum was 171 points. There was a positive association between the presence of drugs in the three previous months and the “non-reactivity to internal experience” facet (p=0.004). Conclusion: Although the association seems to be in line with the precepts of mindfulness, this fact cannot be considered positive if analyzed separately from the other concepts of mindfulness.

The aim of the present study is to examine personality traits and self-esteem levels of a total number of 124 adolescents aging between 14 and 20 (62 adolescents who are using substance and 62 adolescents who are not using any substance) are compared based on certain socio-demographic variables. Five-Factor Personality Inventory (FFPI) and Rosenberg Self-Esteem Questionnaire (RSEQ) are used in order to collect data. For the comparison of two groups, t-test is used if the data was normally distributed, and Mann-Whitney U Test was used when normality assumptions were not met. When there are more than two groups, for normally distribute variables One-way ANOVA, and when normality assumptions were not met, Kruskal-Wallis Test were used. According to the findings, girls who are using substance had lower levels of conscientiousness compared to girls who are not using any substance. For boys, they had lower scores for extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and openness to experience and higher levels of neuroticism if they are using some substance compared to the ones who are not using any substance. When age is taken into consideration, the results indicated that substance using adolescents between 17-20 had higher agreeableness scores compared to the substance using adolescents aged between 14-16. On the other hand, no significant differences were found for adolescents who are not using any substance. Moreover, there were not any significant differences based on the age onset of substance use and immigration status. For self-esteem, boys who are using substance had lower levels compared to the boys who are not using substance. There was no significant difference for the girls based on self-esteem. Results were discussed in the light of literature and implications were proposed.  ÖzetBu çalışmada, 14-20 yaş arasında, 62 madde kullanan ve 62 madde kullanmayan olmak üzere toplam 124 ergenin kişilik özellikleri ile benlik saygısı düzeylerinin bazı sosyo-demografik değişkenlere göre incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmanın verileri, Beş Faktör Kişilik Envanteri (5FKE) ve Rosenberg Benlik Saygısı Ölçeği (RBSÖ) ile toplanmıştır. Analizlerde bağımsız iki grup karşılaştırılırken "t testi" ve normal teori varsayımlarının sağlanmadığı durumlarda ise "Mann-Whitney U Testi" kullanılmıştır. İkiden fazla grubun olduğu durumlar için "Tek Yönlü Varyans Analizi ( One-Way ANOVA)" ve normal teori varsayımlarının sağlanmadığı durumlarda ise Kruskal-Wallis Testi"’ nden yararlanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda elde edilen bulgulara göre, madde kullanan kızların özdenetim/sorumluluk puanlarının madde kullanmayan kızlardan daha düşük olduğu; madde kullanan erkeklerin dışadönüklük, yumuşakbaşlılık, özdenetim/sorumluluk ve gelişime açıklık puanlarının madde kullanmayan erkeklerden daha düşük, duygusal tutarsızlık puanlarının ise daha yüksek olduğu bulunmuştur. Yaş değişkenine göre bakıldığında, 17-20 yaş arasındaki madde kullanan ergenlerin yumuşakbaşlılık puanının 14-16 yaş arasındaki ergenlerden yüksek olduğu, madde kullanmayan ergenlerin yaş faktörüne göre kişilik özelliklerinin anlamlı farklılık göstermediği saptanmıştır. Maddeye başlama yaşına göre, madde kullanan ergenlerin kişilik özelliklerinin farklılaşmadığı aynı zamanda madde kullanan ve kullanmayan ergenlerin göç değişkenine göre kişilik özelliklerinin anlamlı farklılık göstermediği bulunmuştur. Benlik saygısı açısından incelendiğinde, madde kullanan ve kullanmayan kızların benlik saygılarının farklılaşmadığı; madde kullanan erkeklerin benlik saygılarının madde kullanmayan erkeklerden daha düşük olduğu görülmüştür. Ulaşılan sonuçlar ilgili literatür ışığında tartışılarak öneriler sunulmuştur.

The combination of an SUD and a psychiatric disorder is called dual or co-occurring disorders (CODs). Rates of SUDs are especially high among individuals with antisocial or borderline personality disorders, bipolar illness, and schizophrenia. Having one disorder raises the risk of having the other. Psychiatric illness can affect how quickly a substance problem develops and response to treatment. It can also affect relapse to substance use. The effects of alcohol or other drugs can cause or worsen psychiatric symptoms. Suggestions are given for handling psychiatric emergencies, including suicide threats. An overview of the treatment options for patients with dual disorders is given.

BackgroundSchizophrenia is known to be associated with a range of adverse outcomes, which have an impact at the societal level and are therefore of public concernAimsTo examine the epidemiology and methods for measuring six adverse outcomes in schizophrenia: violence, victimisation, suicide/self-harm, substance use, homelessness and unemploymentMethodAreview of the literature was carried out for each adverse outcome, with attention to critical appraisal of existing measurement toolsResultsSchizophrenia is associated strongly with all six outcomes, although research has mainly focused on violence. Each outcome acts as a risk factor for at least some of the other outcomes. There are few standardised or validated measures for these'hard' outcomes. Each measure has inherent biases but a growing trend is for these to be minimised by using multiple measuresConclusionsAsingle instrument which systematically measures multiple societal outcomes of schizophrenia would be extremely useful for both clinical and research purposes

BackgroundIndividuals with one psychiatric disorder are at increased risk for incidence and recurrence of other disorders. We characterize whether the magnitude of such heterotypic continuity varies based on whether the first disorder remits or persists over time.MethodCohorts were selected from participants in the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions wave 1 (2001–2002) and wave 2 (2004–2005) surveys with ⩾1 mood, anxiety, or substance use disorder at wave 1. Among respondents remitting (n = 6719) or not remitting (n = 3435) from ⩾1 of disorder at wave 2, the analyses compared the odds of developing new disorders.ResultsAs compared with adults whose disorders persisted from wave 1 to wave 2, those with ⩾1 remission had lower odds of incidence or recurrence of another disorder. Remission from alcohol dependence [odds ratio (OR) 0.4, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.3–0.5] and drug dependence (OR 0.4, 95% CI 0.3–0.6) were associated with the lowest odds of incidence of another disorder. Social anxiety disorder was associated with the lowest adjusted odds of recurrence (adjusted OR = 0.2, 95% CI 0.1–0.6). Remission of disorders within one class (mood, anxiety, substance use) was consistently associated with lower odds of incidence or recurrence of disorders from the same class than with developing disorders from the other classes.ConclusionsRemission from common psychiatric disorders tends to decrease the risk for incidence or recurrence of disorders and this effect is stronger within than across disorder classes. These results do not support the concept of heterotypic continuity as a substitution of one disorder for another.

Concerns about two Gabapentoids namely Gabapentin and Pregabalin have been raised for years. Both were introduced as anti-epileptic agents before finding a myriad of indications, not without controversy. Experts are divided about their safety; one camp defends their use the other flagging incidents of diversion, reports of abuse cases of overdosing and even mortality. This article presents alarming Middle Eastern example of a wave of Gabapentoids abuse, mostly Pregabalin, among patients seeking treatment at the National Rehabilitation Center, Abu Dhabiand UAE. It also provides an overview of indications, side effects, evidence for and against abuse and misuse potential, laboratory tests, all within the context of a substance use disorder rehabilitation service.

Future Risk

Background: Mood disorders and problematic substance use are highly comorbid and confer reciprocal risk for each other. Despite theories that posit that specific features of one disorder pose risk for the other, there is a dearth of studies utilizing complementary analytic approaches, such as network analysis. Methods: A sample of 445 participants (59.8% female, Mage = 20.3 years) completed measures of depression and hypo/mania symptoms and substance use-related impairment. Results: Impulsive and interpersonal impairment were the domains of impairment most highly co-occurring with mood symptoms. Suicidal ideation, sadness, decreased need for sleep, and guilt were the mood symptoms most highly co-occurring with substance use-related impairment. Cross-lagged panel network models found that interpersonal impairment due to substance use was the strongest cross-construct predictor of mood symptoms and that suicidal ideation and guilt were the mood symptoms most predictive of substance-related impairment. Social, intrapersonal, and physical impairment due to substance use were the domains most predicted by previous mood symptoms and decreased need for sleep, guilt, and euphoria were the most strongly predicted by past substance use-related impairment. Limitations: Measures do not assess all mood symptoms, participants with low reward sensitivity were excluded, self-report measures, some variables were single-items. Conclusions: Results suggest that components of these syndromes that confer future risk for the other might not be the same components that are predicted by the other, highlighting that the bidirectional relationship between mood symptoms and problematic substance use might be better conceptualized at the element, rather than diagnostic, level.
