Background: The high prevalence of substance use and its association with poor academic performance is a global concern today. Objective: The study was conducted to assess the impact of addiction on the academic performance of students in the case of Wolaita Sodo University. Methods: Cross-sectional study was carried out among a total of 421 students selected by using the cluster sampling technique. Data were collected via semistructured questionnaires and interviews and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics.Results: The results showed that, from the total sample of students, 71.8% of the respondents were involved in addiction while the rest 28.2% were free from any addiction and 73.1% males were more likely to be addicted than females (26.9%). The chi-square result also shows that addiction and academic performance were found to be dependent and addicted students were associated with poor academic achievement than nonaddicted. The regression dummy variable test also showed that the students involved in addiction recorded a lower academic results by 0.587 than addiction free students.Conclusion: Behavioral and physiological addiction to illicit substances and other stimulants is common in Wolaita Sodo University as in other higher education institutions. The common practice of substance use and its association with poor academic performance demand universities to have a good control of the substance and to implement youth friendly activities. The effects of addiction might be better studied through pertinent, vigorous research.

Aim: To determine the depression in primary caregivers of patients of psychoactive substance use. Study design: Descriptive cross-sectional Place and duration of study: Department of Psychiatry, Jinnah Medical College Hospital Peshawar from 1st June 2020 to 31st December 2020. Methodology: One hundred and twenty patients of both genders were enrolled. Patients detailed demographics age, sex and body mass index were recorded after taking informed written consent. Patients were aged between 18-70 years of age. Depression and anxiety were calculated in primary caregivers of patients of psychoactive substance use. Results: Seventy (58.3%) patients were males and 50 (41.7%) patients were females. Mean age of the patients were 33.12±7.15 years with mean body mass index 25.08 ± 16.5 kg/m2. Psychoactive substance use resulted high level of depression and anxiety among the patients. 15 (12.5%) patients had mild, 30 (25%) showed moderate and 75 (62.5%) patients showed severe depression. Anxiety among patients was 12 (10%) mild, 26 (21.7%) moderate and 82 (68.3%) patients had severe. 30(25%) were illiterate and 90 (75%) were literate. Conclusion: The caregivers of patients of psychoactive substance use had severity of depression with negative intimation among the cases. In patients with substance use disorders, depression and anxiety are usually found. The development of anxiety and depression on the one hand is obviously associated with the seriousness of medication-related issues on the other side. Keywords: Anxiety, Depression, Substance use, Caregivers.

“…Dual disorder patients suffer higher rates of psychiatric hospitalizations (25), suicide attempts (26), more social problems and delinquent behaviors (24,27), worse QOL (28)(29)(30), lower social consultation, and lesser use of social support (31), compared with those without comorbidity. A great body of research has indicated that substance use can exacerbate depression (27,32,33). The presence of an MDD increases the likelihood of developing an SUD and vice versa (34), although familial and genetic factors seem to be two risk factors for comorbidity of SUD and MDD (SUD + MDD) (35).…”

Circadian Functioning and Quality of Life in Substance Use Disorder Patients With and Without Comorbid Major Depressive Disorder

Aim: Although a relationship between circadian disruption and development of several psychiatric disorders, such as major depressive disorder (MDD) and substance use disorder (SUD), has been observed, knowledge on this area is scarce yet. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the circadian functioning and quality of life (QOL) in SUD patients with and without comorbid MDD, two highly prevalent clinical entities with difficult therapeutic management.Methods: One hundred sixty-three male patients under treatment, 81 with SUD and 82 with SUD comorbid major depressive disorder (SUD + MDD), were evaluated. For the circadian functioning assessment, we calculated Social Jet Lag (SJL) and used the reduced Morningness–Eveningness Questionnaire (rMEQ) and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). QOL was measured using the shortened version of the World Health Organization's Quality of Life Questionnaire (WHOQOL-BREF). We collected sociodemographic and clinical variables to evaluate their possible influence on the circadian functioning. Intergroup differences among the variables were examined by different analyses of covariance (ANCOVA and MANCOVA). The possible relationships of quantitative clinical variables with rMEQ, PSQI, and WHOQOL-BREF were explored using bivariate correlation analysis.Results: Lower SJL appears in the SUD + MDD group compared with SUD. The intermediate-type was more prevalent in the SUD group, while a higher percentage of morning-type patients was found in the SUD + MDD. Sleep quality (including latency and daytime dysfunction) was worse for SUD + MDD patients than for SUD even after controlling age and age of SUD onset variables. Last, QOL was poorer in patients with SUD + MDD and, for them, psychological health had a negative relationship with SJL and severity of depression.Conclusions: Our data support and extend previous findings indicating that SUD + MDD is associated with worse clinical characteristics, more sleep problems, and poorer QOL than SUD patients. These results underline the importance of a precise assessment of these measurements in future studies conducted in SUD patients with/without MDD comorbidity that could be considered from a therapeutic point of view.
