المراضة المشتركة

يمكن تعريف الاعتلال المشترك على أنه تزامن اثنين أو أكثر من الأمراض أو الاضطرابات في نفس الشخص في فترة زمنية معينة (أو لفترة زمنية غير محددة).

وقد درس على نطاق واسع مظاهر الاضطرابات العقلية والسلوكية الناتجة عن تعاطي المخدرات وغيرها من الاضطرابات النفسية منذ ثمانينيات القرن العشرين. يمكن القول أن تعاطي المواد ذات التأثير النفساني هو الاضطراب المتعايش الأكثر شيوعا بين المرضى الذين يعانون من اضطرابات عقلية ، والتشخيص الصحيح للأمراض المعنية أمر ضروري.

تشمل الاضطرابات الأكثر شيوعا اضطرابات المزاج مثل الاكتئاب واضطرابات القلق واضطرابات السلوك واضطراب نقص الانتباه وفرط...

Drugs are problems that integrate virtually all contemporary societies, causing great social and economic impacts. In Brazil, illicit drugs also finance crime and violence, so their fight remains a huge challenge for our country.

According to the Brazilian Center for Information on Psychotropic Drugs (CEBRID), adolescence is a period of...

University students are considered a risk population with regard to alcohol consumption, either by frequency of consumption or its consequences, which can even considerably affect the academic performance of the student.

According to data from the United Nations (UN, 2013), alcohol is the most consumed psychoactive substance in the world, with significant growth in consumption among university...

What is prevention?
I think the definition of "prevention science" by the Academic Science for Prevention Network (SPAN) fully encompasses the role of this field. It is a very rich field in terms of combining and using knowledge from many disciplines to consider etiology, epidemiology, intervention design, efficacy and implementation for the prevention of a variety of health and social problems. We don't just talk about substance use prevention, but also violence, suicide, obesity, mental illness, sexual health, chronic disease, etc. We focus on behavior as a determinant of poor health and...

A study by Lucia Parente and Luís Camboim reports the abusive presence of alcohol consumption by children and adolescents in our society. Alcoholism is a serious problem and considered a public health risk. Laws no. 9,294/96 and 8,069/90 prohibit the sale of alcoholic beverages to children under eighteen years of age, as a way to prevent young people from the consequences arising from this type of narcotics.

The indices show that the accessibility of young people to alcohol occurs frequently. It is perceived that children and adolescents use alcoholic beverages frequently, thus...

Muitas pessoas não sabem que dependência química é uma doença crônica que possui tratamento. Ela se caracteriza pelo abuso de álcool, maconha, cocaína, crack ou outras substâncias entorpecentes, lícitas ou ilícitas. Esse tipo de doença afeta todos os aspectos da vida de um indivíduo e pode ser causado por múltiplos fatores genéticos, ambientais, sociais, familiares e individuais. A facilidade de acesso às drogas aumenta a incidência desse transtorno no mundo, tornando o tratamento e prevenção da dependência química um assunto de saúde pública.

Um estudo realizado pelo Mestre em Psicologia - Evaldo de Souza Fernandes, da Universidade de Brasília, abordou diversos pontos sobre a prevenção ao uso de substâncias, no quesito familiar, escolar e social. 

O uso de drogas ganhou destaque nas últimas décadas do século XX. De acordo com as estatísticas, entre 3,5% e 7,0% da população mundial na faixa etária dos 15 aos 64 anos são usuárias de algum tipo de droga ilícita. Hoje em dia, o fenômeno da drogadição e seus desdobramentos já são considerados, em escala mundial, uma grande questão social e de saúde.
