Addiction Psychiatry

Addiction psychiatry is a medical specialisation of psychiatry that focuses on evaluating, diagnosing, and treating persons who have one or more addiction-related illnesses. Disorders involving legal and illegal drugs, gambling, sex, food, and other impulse control disorders are examples of this. Addiction psychiatrists are experts in substance abuse disorders. Many patients with psychiatric illnesses simultaneously struggle with drug or alcohol addiction. For people with chronic depression, bipolar illness, anxiety, and attention deficit disorder, drugs activate hidden psychiatric vulnerabilities, generate lifelong mental disease, and serve as self-medication.

Information about the neurochemical, physiological, psychological, and anatomical implications of numerous substance-related illnesses has exploded in the field of addiction psychiatry. This has been accompanied with a more thorough approach to determining which therapy modalities are helpful in combating these problems than was used even a decade ago. New neurochemical, physiological, and anatomical discoveries have aided in the development of new pharmacological approaches to substance-related diseases, as well as the rationalisation of previous pharmacological treatments. Addiction psychiatrists are uniquely qualified to treat co-occurring mental health diseases and substance use disorders (whether active use, withdrawal, or early/late recovery).
