    Area of Science:

    • Psychiatry
    • Addiction Medicine
    • Neuroscience

    Context:

    • Observational study of 100 patients with diverse substance use disorders.
    • Patients aged 13-50 years with addiction durations from 1 to 24 years.
    • Inclusion of heroin, opiate, pervitin-ephedrone addiction, and polysubstance abuse.

    Purpose:

    • To characterize the personality changes and psychological deficits associated with various forms of drug addiction.

    Summary:

    • Patients exhibited flattened personal traits and developed distinct narcomanic defects.
    • Key characteristics included heightened excitability, affective disorders (dysphoria, depression, lability), and impulsive behaviors.
    • Psychosocial dysfunction, diminished interests, emotional sphere anomalies, and moral-ethical decline were prevalent.
    • Transient intellectual-mnestic disturbances and impulse control issues, including sexual impulsivity, were noted.
    • Overall personality disorders were categorized as "addictive personality".

    Impact:

    • Highlights the profound impact of substance abuse on personality structure and psychological well-being.
    • Informs clinical understanding and diagnosis of personality disorders in addiction.
    • Underscores the need for comprehensive treatment approaches addressing psychological and social deficits in addiction recovery.
