Drug Abuse and Mental Disorders

Mounting evidence suggests that common genetic factors may predispose individuals to both mental disorders and addiction, or to having a greater risk of the second disorder, once the first appears. Stress, trauma like physical or sexual abuse and early exposure to drugs are common factors that can lead to addiction and to mental illness, particularly in those with underlying genetic vulnerabilities. Both drug and mental disorders affect some of the same areas of the brain. For example, the areas of the brain that react to drug use are the same as those circuits that react to reward processing and show abnormalities in specific mental disorders. Drug abuse and mental illness are developmental disorders. Drug abuse and mental illness often begin in adolescence or even childhood, which are periods when the brain undergoes dramatic developmental changes. Early exposure to drugs can change the brain in ways that increase the risk for mental illness, just as early symptoms of a mental disorder may increase vulnerability to drug abuse.

Types of Complementary Medicine

Complementary medicine practices fall into broad categories, such as natural products, mind and body medicine and manipulative and practices based on the body. Although these categories are informal, they are useful for discussing complementary medicine practices. Some complementary medicine practices may fit into more than one category.

Natural Products

Natural products in complementary medicine include the use of a variety of herbal medicines also known as botanicals, vitamins and minerals. Many places sell natural products over the counter as dietary supplements. Doctors do not consider some uses of dietary supplements, like taking a multivitamin to meet minimum daily nutritional requirements or taking calcium to promote bone health, complementary medicine.
Complementary medicine natural products also include probiotics and live microorganisms (usually bacteria) that are similar to microorganisms normally found in the human digestive tract and that may have beneficial effects. Probiotics are available in foods like yogurts or as dietary supplements. Probiotics are not the same as prebiotics, which are non-digestible food ingredients that selectively stimulate the growth and/or activity of microorganisms already present in the body.
Interest in and use of complementary medicine and natural products have grown considerably in the past few decades. The 2007 NHIS found that 17.7 percent of American adults had used a non-vitamin non-mineral natural product. These products were the most popular form of complementary medicine among both adults and children. The most commonly used product among adults was fish oil or omega 3s. 37.4 percent of all adults who said they used natural products used fish oils and omega 3s; popular products for children included Echinacea where 37.2 percent used and fish oil/omega 3s used by 30.5 percent.
