Troubles anxieux, troubles dépressifs, conduites suicidaires et cannabis

摘要

Many patients report self-medicate anxiety or depressive symptoms. They actually self-medicate subthreshold withdrawal symptoms due to cannabis addiction. Patients with severe cannabis use disorders experience on a doily basis subthreshold withdrawal anxiety and depressive symptoms, characterized by irritability, anger, aggression, and craving for cannabis. The integrated approaches of patients with dual diagnosis include treatments of both anxiety disorders or depressive disorders and cannabis use disorders treatments. Nicotine dependence, personality disorders, or childhood maltreatments, may be risk factors both for cannabis use disorders and anxiety disorders or depressive disorders. Motivational interviewing aims to disentangle anxiety or depressive symptoms linked to primary anxiety disorders or depressive disorders from subthreshold withdrawal symptoms due to cannabis addiction.
