Drug Abuse and Addiction: Pharmacological Phenomena01:15

Drug Abuse and Addiction: Pharmacological Phenomena

558
Drug dependence, abuse, and addiction are complex phenomena that can precipitate various abnormal states. Physical dependence refers to a state of pharmacological adaptation to a drug. This adaptation often results in tolerance—a reduced response to the drug after repeated administrations. When the drug use is abruptly stopped, withdrawal symptoms occur due to the body's need to readjust from the pharmacologically induced imbalance. However, tolerance and withdrawal symptoms do not...

Drug Therapy01:28

Drug Therapy

74
The advent of drug therapy has profoundly shaped modern mental health care, providing targeted treatments for a range of psychological disorders. Psychotherapeutic drugs, classified into antianxiety, antidepressant, and antipsychotic medications, address symptoms across anxiety disorders, mood disorders, and schizophrenia. While these medications have transformed patient outcomes, they require careful management due to their potential side effects and limitations.

Treatment Strategies for Psychological Disorders

176
Treatment approaches for psychological disorders fall into three main categories: psychological, biological, and sociocultural. Each approach targets different aspects of mental health, requiring varying levels of education and training.
Psychological therapies focus on modifying emotions, thoughts, and behaviors through talking, interpreting, listening, rewarding, challenging, and modeling. Clinical psychologists, counselors, and social workers commonly practice psychotherapy. Clinical...

Phase II Reactions: Methylation Reactions01:17

Phase II Reactions: Methylation Reactions

241
Methylation is a phase II biotransformation process involving the attachment of a methyl group to a substrate. Enzymes known as methyltransferases orchestrate this reaction.
The mechanism of methylation unfolds in two stages. The first stage sees a methyltransferase enzyme facilitating the transfer of a methyl group from S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) to the substrate, forming S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH). The second stage involves further metabolism of SAH into homocysteine, which can be recycled...

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination02:55

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

90.3K
Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who...

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder01:30

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

133
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It affects approximately 5-8% of children globally, with around 60-70% of cases persisting into adulthood. ADHD has significant implications for educational attainment, social interactions, and occupational success.
Diagnostic Criteria and Symptoms
To diagnose ADHD, symptoms must manifest before age 12 and be evident across multiple settings....

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Substance Use Disorders
  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • Methamphetamine use and mortality are rising significantly in the U.S.
  • Understanding treatment trends is crucial, especially for women and ethnoracial groups in affected areas like Los Angeles County.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore differences in methamphetamine treatment trends.
  • To examine trends by gender and ethnoracial group, particularly in Los Angeles County.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of a large sample across four waves (2011, 2013, 2015, 2017).
  • Comparative analysis to identify subgroup differences.
  • Trend analysis of treatment episodes by gender and ethnoracial group for methamphetamine vs. other drug users.

Main Results:

  • Methamphetamine treatment admissions increased across all genders and races over time.
  • Women constituted a higher proportion of methamphetamine treatment episodes (43.3%) than other drug episodes (33.6%).
  • Latina individuals represented 45.5% of methadone-related admissions.
  • Methamphetamine users had lower successful treatment completion rates and were in programs with less financial and cultural capacity.

Conclusions:

  • Treatment admissions for methamphetamine users increased across all demographics.
  • Women, particularly Latinas, showed the most substantial increases, widening the gender gap.
  • Methamphetamine users consistently had lower treatment completion rates and accessed less resourced programs compared to other drug users.
