Addiction Nursing

The toxic effects of drugs can mimic mental illness in ways that can be difficult to distinguish from mental illness. Drug induced brain disorders are distinct from independent co-occurring mental disorders in that all or most of the psychiatric symptoms are the direct result of substance use. It can’t be state that substance-induced disorders preclude co-occurring mental disorders, only that the specific symptom cluster at a specific point in time is more likely the result of substance use, abuse, intoxication, or withdrawal than of underlying mental illness. Some common substance related brain disorders are Anxiety, Depression and Insomnia, Schizophrenia, dementia, sleep disorder and Psychosis

  • Anxiety, Depression and Insomnia
  • Schizophrenia
  • Alcoholic dementia
  • Personality disorder
  • Psychosis
  • Epilepsy
  • Bipolar Disorder
  • Organic brain syndrome
  • Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome
