“…However, certain controversies regarding the gender divergence of MAP has been noted. Several studies found that men were more prone to both transient and lifetime MAP ( 63 – 65 ), however other studies have demonstrated that transient MAP for both genders were similar ( 66 – 68 ). Regarding the age of onset, we found that young people with MA dependence were more vulnerable to acute and chronic MAP56 ( 69 ).…”

“…Regarding the age of onset, we found that young people with MA dependence were more vulnerable to acute and chronic MAP56 ( 69 ). Compared to non-MAP patients, patients with lifetime MAP were more likely to be single ( 65 ), unemployed ( 65 ), less educated ( 54 , 65 ), and homeless ( 56 , 58 ). Additional studies validating these findings need to be conducted.…”

“…McKetin et al evaluated co-morbid affective and anxiety disorders among dependent methamphetamine users and found both transient and persistent psychiatric symptoms were associated with co-morbidity anxiety disorders and major depression ( 63 ). Additionally, MA users with a history of psychotic disorders (schizophrenia, schizoaffective, or bipolar disorder) were more likely to develop acute psychiatric symptoms ( 57 , 65 ). Patients with severe symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) were more susceptible to transient MAP after agreeing to MA treatment ( 71 ), and MAP was more severe in patients with ADHD who underwent treatment that were previously consuming higher doses of MA ( 52 ).…”

A Review of Risk Factors for Methamphetamine-Related Psychiatric Symptoms

The illegal use of methamphetamine (MA) is a growing public health concern globally and results in a series of negative effects. The prominent detrimental effect of MA use is MA-related psychiatric symptoms (MAP) and is observed at a much higher incidence compared to the general population. MAP often includes multiple dimensions of cognitive impairment and induces adverse consequences such as, violence and suicide. However, the assessment methods for MAP are not standardized. Hence, it is necessary to investigate factors that affect the progression of psychiatric symptoms in individuals who use MA. A review of published studies was performed by searching the following databases: PubMed, EMBASE, and PsycINFO from inception to 31 May, 2018. The search strategy included methamphetamine, dependence, psychiatric symptoms, and risk factor terms. We reviewed the different features of MAP and the various types of assessment instruments and summarized MAP risk factors from MA use-related factors, socio-demographic characteristics, life events, and genetic factors. We found that MAP was consistently and causally associated with MA use, particularly as it relates to the frequency and amount of MA use. Other MAP-related risk factors like life events and genetics were relatively inconsistent in their association with MAP. Hence, causal and longitudinal studies that focus on multilateral comparisons are required. This review provides high quality evidence for MAP risk factors and would be helpful for developing early prevention and treatment strategies for MAP.

“…There might be a genetic predisposition to MA-induced psychosis [22]. Other distinctive demographic predictors are being male gender, being unemployed and being single, and having low level of education [15]. Indeed, this might also be the case for some other drug use behaviors, including early age at onset, a high-volume [8], long duration, high frequency of use [48], sexual abuse, a family history of drug use, other substance use, and co-occurring personality and mood disorders [15, 19, 28].…”

BackgroundThere is little research of psychiatric comorbidity differences among people with different types of drug dependence in Chinese population. We explored demographic and comorbid psychiatric differences among methamphetamine- dependent males (MDs), heroin-dependent males (HDs) and methamphetamine and heroin co-dependent males (M/HDs) in Hunan province, China.MethodsA cross-sectional, structured and clinical interview method was used to examine differences in DSM-IV-TR Axis I Disorders among 346 MDs, 698 HDs and 247 M/HDs from three compulsory rehabilitation centers and two voluntary rehabilitation centers in Hunan.ResultsMDs and M/HDs were younger, more likely to choose inhalation administration, less likely to have a family history of substance use, less likely to have undergone detoxification treatment, had higher incomes and shorter duration of drug use than HDs. Overall, methamphetamine-dependence related to higher rates of current and lifetime psychotic disorders, lifetime hallucinogen use disorders. Heroin-dependence related to higher rates of current and lifetime substance-induced mood disorders, sedative/hypnotic/anxiolytic and other drug use disorders and current alcohol use disorder. For M/HDs, they were more likely to have any other lifetime substance use disorders than MDs and HDs.ConclusionsThere were substantial differences in epidemiological characteristics and comorbidity among MD, HD and M/HD groups, which highlights the urgent need to develop treatment services and policies for drug-specific users in China.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12888-017-1346-7) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

Background: The high comorbidity of psychiatric disorders and substance dependence has been reported in children clinical and epidemiological as a study. Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of childhood attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) among methamphetamine dependence. Methods: This study was a descriptive cross -sectional study that has been done in 2015 -2016. The study population consisted of individuals referred with methamphetamine dependence to Kermanshah Farabi hospital. Among them, 960 patients were chosen through access selection to collect data the epidemiological characteristics questionnaire and the Wender Utah rating scale for ADHD children were used. Data were analyzed through SPSS 18 software descriptive statistical methods and chi-square test. Results: The prevalence of childhood ADHD was 29.9%. In the study population 155 patients (16.17) had hyperactivity disorder, 402 patients (41.9%) had attention deficit disorder, and 141 patients (14.7%) had hyperactivity and attention deficit disorders simultaneously. In addition, data analysis reveals the meaningful relationship between childhood ADHD and gender marital status education as well as age range (P < 0.001). For participants, job and age of first methamphetamine use, which P = 0.484 and P = 0.453, respectively, no meaningful relationship was found to ADHD. Conclusions: Behavioral disorders, especially ADHD, can make a background for methamphetamine dependence tendency. ADHD treatments may prevent this disposition towards methamphetamine dependence.
