“…However, they presented lower drug consumption and legal problems than men. These results obtained in patients with histories of abuse are in line with those found in general patients in SUD treatment (Fernández-Montalvo et al, 2014;Santos-de-Pascual et al, 2020).…”

The development of post-traumatic symptomatology is one of the main consequences of suffering physical and/or sexual abuse (Campbell et al., 2016;Olaya et al., 2015). Gender differences in suffering different types of potentially traumatic events and in the derived consequences have been well established (Armstrong et al., 2018;Christiansen & Hansen, 2015;Mitra et al., 2021;Tolin & Foa, 2006). Overall, men suffer a higher number of lifetime traumatic events than women. Moreover, the types of traumatic events experienced by men vary. Specifically, men present a higher proportion of accidents, robberies, and war consequences than women, whereas women are victims of sexual abuse and childhood abuse in a higher proportion than men (Tolin & Foa, 2006). On the other hand, women present greater psychopathological consequences than men, such as depression, anxiety or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD; Armstrong et al., 2018).There is evidence for a link between having experienced any type of abuse and the development of problematic substance use (Afifi et al.

“…Men with ASPD present inconsistencies in the recognition of facial expressions of disgust, as a consequence of failures to integrate emotion with context. They have greater deficiencies in emotional control presenting selective deterioration in responses related to empathy associated with negative emotions, becoming a predisposing factor to develop criminal behavior (de Pacual et al, 2020). Emotional instability, that is, lack of self-control and impulsive situations that cause tension, is a strong predictor of aggressive behavior in young offenders, present in both groups evaluated, with worse performance in men with ASPD.…”

Antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) showed a broad executive function, as well as visual short-term, working memory (WM), and attention deficits. The inhibitory control and WM deficits may distinguish ASPD from other personality disorders. People with ASPD structure have deficiencies in the maturation of the prefrontal cortex which is evident in various neurocognitive problems, mainly in WM and social cognition (SC). In Colombia there is a high incidence of ASPD in young offenders, which makes the process of rehabilitation and resocialization more difficult. The aim of this paper was to develop a structural equation model (SEM) to identify the relationship between SC and intellectual quotient (IQ) in offenders with ASPD and make a comparative analysis by gender. A representative sample of 120 offenders was used (60 men and 60 women) of a Specialized Attention Center (SAC) in Medellin, Colombia. This paper concludes that there is a higher correlation between SC and IQ in women offenders with ASPD (σxy = 0.62) than in male offenders with ASPD (σxy = 0.54). Epidemiologists suggest that women have a high prevalence of depressive and anxiety disorders, which can be explained by internalized behavioral management. In general, men show a higher prevalence of disorders associated with impulse control through externalizing behavioral management. This shows that ASPD has been studied more in men and that ASPD profiles in women are lacking due to its low prevalence. Based on the results of the model developed, a neurocognitive profile of men and women with ASPD is presented.

The consumption of psychoactive substances has been a controversial issue for public health worldwide due to its negative effects, which go beyond the physical health of the individual and affect other areas of his or her life, such as social, family, academic and work. Consequently, as consumption increases, psychological disorders of various kinds begin to manifest themselves; among the most prevalent is anxiety. These problems are more noticeable in patients who are going through the process of recovery from their addiction, since the situation in which they find themselves makes them vulnerable. Therefore, the objective of this research is to describe the levels of anxiety present in adult drug addicts institutionalized in rehabilitation centers. For this purpose, search engines in PubMed and Scopus were used, using Boolean operators and descriptors in Spanish and English; in addition, the PRISMA method was used for the identification and selection of information. The most significant findings include sex-related differences, where women present a higher prevalence of anxiety compared to men. In addition, the most frequent psychiatric comorbidities in these patients include depression, ADHD, antisocial disorder and psychotic disorder. Finally, new non-pharmacological approaches to treat anxiety have been found to show promising results, such as electroacupuncture, martial arts and physical exercise.
