Cognitive and emotional impairments in volatile substance abusers

Abstract

Volatile substance use is common in low-income socioeconomic groups, those with a history of crime or imprisonment, depression, suicide attempts, antisocial attitudes, school absenteeism, family disintegration or conflict, parental dependence, peer dependence, a history of abuse, violence or other substance use, and in isolated communities. The duration and frequency of volatile substance use increase morbidity and mortality. A significant exception is sudden respiratory death. It was reported that 22% of volatile substance users who experienced sudden death were using volatile substances for the first time. Sudden death is the most common type of death related to volatile substances. Sudden deaths are attributed to sudden cardiac arrhythmias resulting from hydrocarbons sensitizing the myocardium to epinephrine by increasing catecholamine release. Although thinner addiction is a disorder whose frequency is increasing in the world, its long-term consequences are underreported. Many patients with thinner addiction lose their functionality due to the effects of this substance. In addition, the fact that it causes muscle weakness in the upper motor neuron type is significant in showing that the neurodegenerative process is related to the continued use of thinner. Cognitive damage and psychotic disorder are consistent with white matter damage. Given the serious and sometimes irreversible consequences of volatile substance addiction in the chronic phase, early medical and psychosocial interventions in patients appear to be quite important
