“…Several studies indicate that low self-esteem is frequently observed in patients with SUD. However, in contrast to this perspective, other studies that have examined the relationship between SUD and self-esteem have found high levels of self-esteem [37].…”

We explored the intricate interplay of biological, social, and psychological factors contributing to substance use disorder (SUD) and co-occurring psychiatric symptoms. Drug misuse is a global concern, with increasing prevalence rates affecting mental well-being and safety. The spectrum of SUD includes polysubstance users, posing challenges for treatment and associated health outcomes. Various psychoactive substances like cannabis, hallucinogens, opioids, and stimulants impact addiction vulnerability, with marijuana being widely used globally. Gender differences in SUD prevalence have narrowed, with women escalating drug consumption rapidly once initiated. Age disparities in substance use highlight regional variations among adolescents. Comorbidities with psychiatric symptoms are common, with mood and anxiety disorders frequently observed. This study aimed to analyze factors influencing SUD development and maintenance to inform prevention strategies and treatment recommendations. By conducting a systematic search of databases, sixty articles were reviewed, revealing diverse methodologies and geographic locations. Biological factors, including neurotransmitter systems like endocannabinoid and dopaminergic systems, play a significant role in addiction. Genetic and neurobiological factors contribute to cannabis addiction susceptibility. Social factors such as childhood experiences and parenting styles influence substance use behaviors. Psychological factors like personality traits and mental health conditions interact with SUD development. Understanding these multifaceted interactions is crucial for designing effective interventions to address the complexities of SUD and co-occurring psychiatric symptoms.

“…Across many populations, individuals with high self-transcendence scores tend to have better mental health and well being [7][8][9][10][11] , presenting lower levels of depressive symptoms 12 , and higher levels of self-esteem and internal locus of control 13,14 . These relationships are consistent across many studies, according to a recent meta analysis 15 .…”

Self-transcendence (ST) is a positive altered state of consciousness associated with ego-dissolution, connectedness, and moral elevation, which mediates well-being, meaning-making, and prosociality. Conventional paths to ST such as religious practice, meditative practice, and psychedelics pose nontrivial barriers to entry, limiting ST’s study and wide application. Aesthetic chills (henceforth “chills”) are a peak psychophysiological response characterized by a pleasurable, cold sensation, and subjective qualities and outcomes intuitively similar to ST. However, evidence is lacking directly relating chills and ST. We exposed 2937 participants to chills-eliciting stimuli, then assayed chills intensity, mood and ST measures. Controlling for prior state and trait differences, chills were robustly associated with ST. Analyses of main effects and covariance structure found that chills occurrence and intensity, and ST measures, form a tightly interrelated construct. These findings suggest that ST experiences are reliably evokable via exposure to aesthetic chills-evoking audiovisual media. We discuss implications of chills-evoking media for tractable studies of ST and democratized applications of ST towards human flourishing.

Gambling disorder (GD) is a complex mental health condition that can cause many severe psychological, physical, and social impairment. Illegal acts have been recognized in quite a few cases because of the debts related with the gambling activity. This study used network methodology to visualize the relationships among patients seeking treatment for gambling related problems, separately for the patients with and without illegal behaviors. The aim is to identify the diverse and differentiate mechanisms, as well as the central nodes, that occur within GD patients depending on the presence/absence of illegal acts. The sample included N = 401 patients (age range 18 to 80 years). Network analysis was performed considering the nodes that measure gambling features (the core symptoms based on the DSM-5 taxonomy, global symptom severity, and forms of gambling), psychopathology distress, substance use (tobacco, alcohol, and illegal drugs), and personality traits. Two separate networks were adjusted for patients with illegal acts (n = 105) and without these behaviors (n = 296). The most relevant nodes among patients with GD plus illegal acts were self-transcendence and the GD DSM-5 symptom “A7-lies to conceal the extent of gambling” (these variables were also identified as the bridge nodes, those with the highest linkage capacity). Among the patients with GD without illegal acts, the node with the greatest authority was the GD DSM-5 symptom “A5-often gambles when feeling distressed” (this was also the variable with the highest linkage capacity). The study provides empirical evidence of the most relevant features and the linkage capacity among patients seeking treatment for problematic gambling, which can support the development of precise plans for treatment and prevention of the risk of GDRIA.
