“…Receptivity to emotional expressions of others can also be impaired in schizophrenia (Derntl et al 2009, Fujiwara et al 2008, Haker & Rossler 2009), particularly in males who are responding to emotions that have negative valence (Bozikas et al 2006, Pijnenborg et al 2007, Scholten et al 2008). In addition to schizophrenia, responsiveness to affective prosody can be impaired in depression (Emerson et al 1999, Uekermann et al 2008), multiple sclerosis (Beatty et al 2003), Parkinson's disease (Benke et al 1998), alcoholism (Monnot et al 2001, 2002, Uekermann & Daum 2008, Uekermann et al 2005) and following exposure to MDMA or ‘ecstasy’ (Yip & Lee 2006).…”

“…conflicting results are reported. There is evidence regarding an association between the use of different types of substances and impaired facial emotion recognition (FER) (6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11). For instance, concerning alcohol abuse, some studies reported potential severe damages to the recognition of facial emotional manifestations.…”

Background: Facial emotion recognition (FER) is an important social skill. Some studies have determined the capability of FER in substance abusers, but their results are contradictory. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate FER ability in opioid antecedent subjects and mixed opioid-methamphetamine antecedent subjects under methadone maintenance therapy compared to a control group. Methods: Following a retrospective cohort design, 71 methadone-maintained subjects (MMS) (40 individuals with a history of only opioid use disorder and 31 patients with a history of both opioid and methamphetamine use disorder) and 40 healthy participants filled the Persian version of Ackman and Friesen facial emotion experiment, which were matched based on age, education, and gender. Demographic and substance use characteristics were evaluated. Both groups were similar concerning the duration of the opioid use disorder, methadone maintenance treatment, and currently prescribed methadone dose. Data were analyzed using the chi-square, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, and Welch test. Statistical significance was considered when P-value < 0.05. Results: Total FER scores were significantly lower in MMS compared to the control group. Concerning the subgroups, recognition of sadness was impaired in patients with a history of opioid use disorder (with and without a history of methamphetamine use disorder), while in recognition of anger and wonder, patients with both opioid and methamphetamine use disorder history had a significantly lower performance. There was no other significant difference between the groups. Conclusions: The findings suggest that social cognition deficit should be considered in strategies related to the addiction (both treatment and rehabilitation).

“…Furthermore, MDMA appears to directly cause degeneration of serotonergic neurons (Quednow et al, 2006), of which the hippocampus has many. Finally, along with cognitive dysfunction, it was noted that MDMA may also cause an impairment of emotion recognition (Yip and Lee, 2006).…”
