Abstract

Purpose of Review

To review the literature addressing shared pathophysiological and clinical features of opioid and nicotine use to inform etiology and treatment, and highlight areas for future research.

Recent Findings

Opioid and nicotine use co-occur at an alarmingly high rate, and this may be driven in part by interactions between the opioid and cholinergic systems underlying drug reward and the transition to dependence. Pain, among other shared risk factors, is strongly implicated in both opioid and nicotine use and appears to play an important role in their co-occurrence. Additionally, there are important sex/gender considerations that require further study. Regarding treatment, smoking cessation can improve treatment outcomes in opioid use disorder, and pharmacological approaches that target the opioid and cholinergic systems may be effective for treating both classes of substance use disorder.

Summary

Understanding overlapping etiological and pathophysiological mechanisms of opioid and nicotine use can aid in understanding their co-occurrence and guiding their treatment.

Neu im Fachgebiet Psychiatrie

Medikamente verändern wohl Nährstoffzusammensetzung der Muttermilch

Einige Medikamente wie selektive Serotonin-Wiederaufnahmehemmer können offenbar die Makronährstoffzusammensetzung der Muttermilch verändern. Das birgt möglicherweise gesundheitliche Risiken für manche gestillte Kinder.

Psychologische Interventionen können Depressionen oft verhindern

Gespräche, Telefonate, internetbasierte Verfahren: Mit solchen Methoden lässt sich der Beginn einer Depression bei gefährdeten Personen oft vermeiden. Sie funktionieren vor allem dann, wenn die Betroffenen deutliche Symptome aufweisen und noch keine Psychotherapie hatten.

Die beste Medizin gegen Altersdepression: Laufen, Lernen, Lachen, Lieben

Depressionen im Alter haben vielfältige Ursachen und verlaufen anders als bei jungen Menschen. Ohne einen multimodalen Ansatz kommt man oft nicht weit: Neben Medikamenten und Psychotherapien ist die physische, kognitive und soziale Aktivierung entscheidend.

Wir sozio-emotionalen Blobs

Entscheidungen sollten rational erfolgen – in der Politik wie im Leben. So wünschen wir uns das. Letztlich werden sie aber von Emotionen bestimmt. Wer das nicht versteht und anerkennt, wird kaum Wege aus Krisen finden. Die Neurowissenschaftlerin Maren Urner fordert daher eine „Reifeprüfung“ zur Krisenbewältigung.
