Panoramica

I problemi di salute mentale sono molto comuni in quelli con un disturbo da uso di sostanze e questi pazienti hanno problemi clinicamente e psicosocialmente più gravi rispetto ai pazienti con disturbi da uso di sostanze senza problemi di salute mentale in comorbidità. In questa pagina sono disponibili link a dati, pubblicazioni scientifiche e risorse dell'OEDT sul tema dei problemi di salute mentale e del consumo di sostanze.

This discussion paper aims to highlight the evidence related to mental and physical health comorbidities in drug use disorders and to promote the development of innovative, evidence-based policies and practices to treat drug use disorders and comorbid disorders.

The paper advocates for an integrated approach to treatment from a biopsychosocial perspective and the ‘no wrong door’ principle, so that patients receive comprehensive therapeutic interventions regardless of their entry point in the health system.

Nel documento presentiamo le conclusioni di uno studio di ricerca sulla qualità dell'attaccamento verso i genitori e l'auto-accettazione degli adolescenti nelle scuole secondarie ceche.

MIRA:

Lo scopo dello studio era l'esplorazione della relazione tra lo stile di attaccamento e l'auto-accettazione.

Contingency management (CM) is a psychological treatment based on operant conditioning. It consists of providing incentives in exchange for achieving a target behaviour such as abstinence or other treatmentrelated variables (e.g. session attendance, adherence to medication). The objective of this article was to introduce the rationale of CM for substance use and, more specifically, for smoking cessation. A growing body of empirical literature supports CM as an effective treatment for quitting smoking both in the general population and among other hard-to-treat smokers (e.g. pregnant women or...

"‘I’m just getting the impression I have to sort myself out’: How people with co-occurring heavy alcohol use and depression describe the care they receive in a fragmented health system - a qualitative study" by Dr Kat Jackson & Dr Amy O’Donnell from Newcastle University.

Substance use and mental health needs are two of the primary concerns for many people experiencing multiple disadvantage. We know that people who experience both issues at the same time (also known as “co-occurring conditions” or “dual diagnosis”) find it difficult or impossible to access the right support for their needs.

However, despite these concerns, appropriate support for people with co- occurring conditions remains an unresolved challenge for many local areas. Without appropriate support, individuals’ health, wellbeing and trust in services can be drastically harmed. In this briefing...

Research has shown that alcohol use and common mental disorders co-occur; however, little is known about how the global prevalence of alcohol use compares across different mental disorders.

This review examined:

(i) report global associations of alcohol use (alcohol use disorder (AUD), binge drinking and consumption) comparing those with and without common mental disorders 

(ii) how this differed among those with and without specific types of common mental disorders 

(iii) how results may differ by study characteristics.

A total of 512 papers were reviewed. Individuals with a...

Abstract

Background and Aims

Research has shown that alcohol use and common mental disorders co-occur; however, little is known about how the global prevalence of alcohol use compares across different common mental disorders. The aim of this study was to (i) report global associations of alcohol use (alcohol use disorder, binge drinking and consumption) compare those with and without common mental disorders, (ii) examine how this differed among those with and without specific types of common mental disorders and (iii) examine how results may differ by study characteristics.

The systematic...
