“…However, a 10-year longitudinal study in Germany demonstrated that mood and anxiety disorders, as well as the degree of their comorbidity, were significantly associated with the incidence of cannabis use and the progression to cannabis use disorders, even when controlling for externalizing disorders (Wittchen et al, 2007). Similarly, a 15-year longitudinal study in Australia demonstrated that after controlling for multiple potential confounds, regular (particularly daily) adolescent cannabis use was associated consistently with anxiety disorder, but not depressive disorder, in adolescence and late young adulthood, even among users who then ceased cannabis use (Degenhardt et al, 2013). Additionally, a study using data from the NESARC reported that social anxiety disorder was more likely to be related to cannabis dependence than abuse, and that this relation remained significant after controlling for race, sex, and other substance use and psychiatric disorders; this study also reported that in the majority of cases, but not all cases, the development of social anxiety disorder preceded the development of cannabis use disorders (Buckner et al, 2012b).…”

The recovery process from cannabis use disorders has received little empirical attention. Understanding how and the ways in which individuals with cannabis use disorders recover may help to improve formal treatments and facilitate recovery for those who wish to not seek treatment. The present study was undertaken with two primary objectives in mind. The first primary objective was to provide an exploratory portrait of the recovery process from cannabis use disorders from the perspective of individuals who have recovered. The second primary objective was to explore and systematically describe the similarities and differences between abstinence-and moderation-oriented recoveries, as well as the similarities and differences between treatment-assisted and natural recoveries. The methodology was largely borrowed from the natural recovery literature insofar as recovery was first inferred via the remission of diagnostic symptoms, and then explored predominantly via several interview domains (e.g., reasons for resolution, actions taken to recover, maintenance factors, barriers to treatment seeking).Several interesting and important findings emerged at the level of the total sample (N = 119), as well as at the level of group comparisons between the different recovery pathways. Notably, the findings lend further support to the effectiveness of cognitive, motivational, and behavioural strategies as helpful actions and maintenance factors

“…Both frequent (daily or nearly daily) cannabis use and cannabis dependence are associated with various mental health problems [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. However, in most studies the overlap (an estimated 20-50% [8,9]) between dependent users and frequent users is ignored [1][2][3][4][5][10][11][12][13][14][15][16].…”

“…These studies show higher rates of depression and anxiety in dependent versus non-dependent users and in heavy versus infrequent users [3,6,[10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. However, other studies found similar rates of internalizing disorders in heavy and infrequent users [6,[17][18][19].…”

Design Cross-sectional comparison of interview data. Setting Enriched community sample of frequent cannabis users and a representative sample of non-users and non-frequent users from the general population. Participants A total of 521 young adult (aged 18-30 years) frequent cannabis users, 252 of whom were with DSM-IV cannabis dependence (D+) and 269 without DSM-IV cannabis dependence (D-), and 1072 young adults from the general population. Measurements Multinomial logistic regression was used to compare groups regarding the presence of DSM-IV mental disorders. Detailed measures of cannabis use, childhood adversity and other substance use were considered confounders. Findings Compared with the general population, externalizing disorders were more prevalent in D-[odds ratio (OR) = 8.91, P < 0.001] and most prevalent in D+ (OR = 17.75, P < 0.001), but internalizing disorders were associated only with D+ (mood OR = 4.15, P < 0.001; anxiety OR = 2.20, P = 0.002). Associations were attenuated (and often became non-significant) after correction for childhood adversity and substance use other than cannabis. However, the prevalence of mental disorders remained higher in D+ compared with D-(OR = 2.40, P < 0.001), although cannabis use patterns were remarkably similar. Conclusions Cannabis use patterns, childhood adversity and the use of other substances are similar in dependent and non-dependent frequent cannabis users. With the exception of more externalizing disorders, the mental health ...

“…Considering the total population of India, the number of users will be around an alarming estimate of 50 Lakhs. It is reported that many of opioid dependent patients also are reported to be sufferers of illnesses like HIV, Hepatitis B and C. 1 Opioid use disorders are progressively increasing cause of deaths too. Opioid use disorders resulted in 51,000 deaths worldwide in 2013 where as it was estimated to be 18,000 deaths in 1990.…”
