Social networks are platforms that allow users of private and public profiles to have different types of interaction with other users. Given the increasing use of social networks, especially among the younger population, this paper aims to point out the impact of the use of social networks on mental health. A review of the relevant literature on the potential impact of social networks on mental health has been made. The use of social networks has advantages: establishing interpersonal relationships, personal and business relationships with others, sharing photos, expressing creativity, ideas and feelings, promoting health-related behaviour, and facilitating the interaction of shy and socially anxious individuals. However, the use of social networks is also associated with negative implications for mental health such as the development of anxiety, feelings of loneliness, low self-esteem, depression and dependence on the use of social networks. Given the recognized negative implications of the use of social networks on the mental health of users, it is important to emphasize the need for continuous information on rational use to prevent negative outcomes, as well as the inevitable consideration of this factor in treating mental health problems.

Cilj ovog rada je sagledavanje odnosa između kockanja kao već razvijene zavisnosti s jedne strane i kriminalnih ponašanja s druge strane. U radu su najpre prikazana teorijska stanovišta i shvatanja prirode odnosa kockanja i kriminaliteta kao i nekoliko modela koji pokazuju u kojoj meri i na koji način kockanje doprinosi određenom kriminalnom ponašanju. Podaci različih istraživanja potvrđuju da se kriminogeno dejstvo kockanja može izdvojiti kod pojedinih vrsta kriminaliteta. Najčešća vrsta prestupništva povezana sa kockanjem su finansijski motivisana krivična dela kao što su krađe, prevare, pronevere, zatim nasilje u porodici, maloletnička i saobraćajna delinkvencija. Sagledavanje rezultata, takođe, ukazuje na kompleksnu relaciju odnosa kockanja i kriminaliteta, te da ovom kriminogenom faktoru treba posvetiti više pažnje naročito u domaćim kriminološkim istraživanjima.

Among alcohol addicts, 17.6% had depression as comorbidity, and 5.9% had suicidal ideations. and 11.8% anxiety disorder. Conclusion. The study of comorbidities has significant implications, primarily due to the possible modification of the treatment of the underlying disorder and the adjustment of the therapeutic procedure to the comorbid disorder. Accordingly, timely diagnosis and treatment of comorbid diseases affects the easier course and better prognosis of the underlying disease on the one hand, but also reduces the cost of treatment and relieves the burden on the health system, on the other hand.
