Summary:
Medicine is defined any substance which is inserted in the body and because of it many changes are happening both to the structure and function of the body as well as the emotional and mental intelligence.
The medication which affects the biological and psychological globe of an individual and those that are responsible for the important changes of the body function and the psychology of a person are called psychotropic. They can be described as addictive and non-addictive. The most common addictive substances are smoking, alcohol, amphetamines and all the sedatives which are widely used, barbiturates and everything that they are considered opiates (morphine and heroin). On the other hand, cannabis and all similar substances (marijuana-hashish) belong to non-addictive medicine.
The drug addiction to medicine or toxicomania is about the consumption of a drug which is taken repeatedly and sometimes in a compulsory way. At the same time, there is an increase of the dose because the body is already adjusted to these substances. Addiction to those addictive substances (including smoking, alcohol and all the psychodrastic medication) is a major issue in our country and elsewhere.
In the last few years more and more people are hospitalised because of psychiatric issues, in mental health departments because of psychiatric disorders as well as behavior disorders which are based on the use of various medication or on other psychodrastic substances. The International Statistic classification of diseases and similar health problems (ICD-10) has classified these specific disease situations in V Chapter classification of ICD-10. Specifically, the code which includes them is F19 and it is consisted of nine subcategories. (F19.1-F19.9).
This thesis is focused on the specific population group (people who are addicted and overuse this substances) and the main feature are the multiple problems that they have to face. There are not only matters of the body and mind, but they have negative effects on the social life of the individual.
This thesis is consisted of two parts: the academic part and the research.
The academic part will deal with the meaning of emergency, the mental disorders concerning the addicts and the role of the urgent psychiatric treatment. In addition, it will deal with the psychiatric community when it comes to treatment (unintentional and intentional) during acute incidents at the Psychiatric Hospital of Attica.
On the investigating part, the statistic element that will be resulted from the collection and discussion, will be presented. After processing the findings of the relative analysis, we will have conclusions of the research.
