Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2022/Childhood trauma and subsequent drug use
Add topicComment
[edit source]Hi there! Very interesting topic and well written to show the connections/correlations of drug use within individuals that have experienced childhood trauma.
A few points of feedback:
- The language used was quite negative. Using neutral language will strengthen your argument/points.
- The chapter seemed one with no content provided on the use of substances. For example, there are some studies that have used controlled substances for therapeutic purposes, e.g. psychedelic therapy. Recent research has shown that substances like psilocybin (found in magic mushrooms) and MDMA (ecstasy) may have therapeutic benefits in treating PTSD, depression, and anxiety, particularly when used in controlled, clinical settings.
Study example: MDMA (Ecstasy) Studies Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS): MAPS has conducted several studies on MDMA-assisted therapy for PTSD. A Phase 3 trial published in Nature Medicine in 2021 demonstrated that MDMA-assisted therapy led to significant reductions in PTSD symptoms. Participants in the study reported lasting improvements in their trauma-related symptoms and overall quality of life.
Just some food for thought! --U3126684 (discuss • contribs) 13:52, 15 August 2024 (UTC)
tDCS for Drug Abuse Treatment
[edit source]Hello there, you have a really interesting and relevant topic and I have really enjoyed reading your chapter so far. For the section you have included on treatment of drug abuse problems I was wondering if you have possibly considered looking at how trans-cranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) could be applied to treat drug abuse disorders. I know that it has been used to effectively treat other serious mental health conditions like schizophrenia but I would be curious to see if it could have any effect on drug use.
Thank you very much

[edit source]Awesome chapter and a fascinating topic to investigate. Just a little formatting tip here. You are able to give tables a title. I noticed under 'attachment theory' the title for your table was in paragraph format and was capitalised in places that it shouldn't be, quickly fixed it up for you!

Resource
[edit source]Hi there. Looks like you are smashing it so this resource may be coming a bit late. however it could be a good external link?
It is Johaan Hari's ted talk about his book on addiction which mentions the role of childhood trauma in drug use.

[edit source]Hi there
Very nicely structured. This topic resonates with me because I work with people with drug abuse due to childhood trauma.
I have some references from my research if they can help you.
I am looking forward to see your final product.

Feedback and future directions
[edit source]Excellent topic choice! Nicely structured chapter.
This topic is quite personal to me, and I appreciate your efforts in drawing attention to it and raising awareness within the science community. Kudos to you.
From my lived experience with trauma and familial substance use, I have found Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills training (Linehan, 2015) to be beneficial. I currently work in this field and have witnessed the impacts of this psychotherapuetic approach on many who have experienced childhood trauma and struggle with substance use. There is growing evidence of the efficacy of such treatment. Cavicchioli et al. (2019) has investigated DBT in the treatment of substance use. Plenty of other research out there, particularly for those who live with comorbidity of substance use and personality disorders.

Comment
[edit source]This is so well done, it flowed very well and came together nicely. From what I understand trauma is often a cycle ie the parents are likely to have suffered some trauma themselves is family therapy something that is recommended or are all parties better off seeking individual therapy?--U3037979 (discuss • contribs) 22:37, 29 October 2022 (UTC)

[edit source]Hi.
Drug addiction often results from a mix of personal, societal, and biological factors. Childhood trauma, genetics, mental health disorders, peer pressure, economic challenges, and lack of education can all increase the risk of drug addiction. While personal choice plays a role, blaming individuals without recognizing these factors oversimplifies the issue. Effective treatment requires understanding and addressing these root causes rather than merely assigning blame.
Well done! U3217153 (discuss • contribs) 18:45, 24 August 2023 (UTC)

[edit source]Hi there,
Really interesting topic! I read some interesting points that have helped me in writing my chapter. A thought that came up was do social and environmental factors, community support systems or socioeconomic status for example, interact with childhood trauma to influence the likelihood of drug use later in life? Could a strong social support system or even access to mental health resources reduce the impact of trauma on drug use? I found that support systems were a strong protective factor for reducing juvenile offending while researching my own topic, and thought it might be relevant.
Really well done! U3236338 (discuss • contribs) 12:44, 15 August 2024 (UTC)
