“…Ethanol is used as an ingredient in most alcoholic beverages while methanol consumption can be fatal, due to its signi cantly higher toxicity. (4,5) Methanol is a non-potable alcohol, mainly used as a chemical component in the eponymous industry. It is widely used as a solvent, especially in paints, lacquers and is the carrier frequently used in the manufacture of perfume, which is composed of three distinct elements: the odorant concentrate, the carrier and the xative, also used as a fuel in aeronautics, or the production of biodiesel.…”

Introduction The use of psychoactive substances (PAS) is nowadays a priority in the field of psychiatric research. It is a public health problem linked to dependence and mental health disorders in term of causality and co morbidity. Methodology In order to better understand the phenomenon of PAS consumption among young adults, we conducted a descriptive cross-sectional study among patients who presented an acute collective intoxication with methanol-based cologne in May 2020 in Hajeb El Ayoun in the governorate of Kairouan, Tunisia. Results Patients had a particular epidemiological status in terms of numerous criteria. PAS addiction prevalence was among the majority of participants including alcohol, cannabis and drugs (respectively 86%, 69.8%, 46.5%). Also, depression and anxiety evaluation rates were high (more than 79% for definite symptomatology). Furthermore, we found a statistically significant association between anxiety and alcohol dependence (p=0.032), also between depression and addiction to a medication or a drug (p=0.017). Conclusion It is essential to set up strategies of prevention of the consumption of PAS in order to avoid its harmful consequences. Moreover, Determining factors associated with this addiction could allow to pay attention to the vulnerable subjects to make the screening much easier and more accessible to prevent the occurence of mental disorders such anxiety and depression.

Background: The use of psychoactive substances (PAS) is nowadays a priority in the field of psychiatric research. It is a public health problem linked to dependence and mental health disorders in terms of causality and co-morbidity. Objective: To establish the epidemiological profile, assess the dependence on alcohol and other psychoactive substances in subjects consulting for acute intoxication with methanol, and study the prevalence of anxiety and depression in these patients. Methods: In order to better understand the phenomenon of PAS consumption among young adults, we conducted a descriptive cross-sectional study among patients who presented an acute collective intoxication with methanol-based cologne in May 2020 in Hajeb El Ayoun in Kairouan, Tunisia. Results: Patients had a particular epidemiological status in terms of numerous criteria. PAS addiction prevalence was among the majority of participants including alcohol, cannabis, and drugs (respectively 86%, 69.8%, 46.5%). Also, depression and anxiety evaluation rates were high (more than 79% for definite symptomatology). Furthermore, we found a statistically significant association between anxiety and alcohol dependence (p=0.032), and depression and addiction to a medication or a drug (p=0.017). Conclusions: It is essential to set up strategies to prevent the consumption of PAS to avoid its harmful consequences. Moreover, Determining factors associated with this addiction could allow us to pay attention to the vulnerable subjects to make the screening much easier and more accessible to prevent the occurrence of mental disorders such as anxiety and depression
