Craving in Gamma-Hydroxybutyric Acid Use Disorder
Background Gamma-Hydroxybutyric (GHB) acid is a highly addictive recreational drug. People who develop GHB use disorder (GUD) show poor treatment outcomes with relapse rates of over 50% within three months after detoxification. Craving is an important predictor of relapse but has received limited attention in patients with GUD. This study aimed to (1) describe craving levels before and after detoxification and (2) assess the predictive value of c…
Comparing perceptions of smoking cessation care delivery between addiction care and mental healthcare workers
Many individuals with psychiatric disorders, including substance use disorders, smoke. Healthcare providers (HCPs) have an important role in smoking cessation care (SCC). This study examined perceptions of SCC among HCPs working in addiction and mental healthcare, and explored whether HCPs’ smoking status was related to these perceptions. In this cross-sectional study, we combined data of two Dutch surveys among 578 addiction and 231 mental HCPs.…

Religiousness and self-control in patients with substance use disorder (SUD) and comorbid attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
Background: Religiousness has been positively associated with better mental health and stronger self-control, including in patients with substance use disorders (SUDs) or attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). However, data on religiousness in patients with SUD and comorbid ADHD are lacking. Objectives: This study aims to test in patients with SUD and comorbid ADHD whether (1) religiousness is negatively associated with SUD and ADHD sym…
‘I am proud of how I handled it’. Exploring the impact of the Covid‐19 pandemic and related restrictions on well‐being of adults with severe mental illness using qualitative methods
BACKGROUND: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and related restrictions globally impacted mental health, particularly for those with pre-existing severe mental illness (SMI). This qualitative study examined how adults with SMI perceived the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and related restrictions in the Netherlands, focusing on their personal recovery, well-being and daily life, including an exploration of factors influencing these…

Effectiveness of a group intervention to reduce sexual transmission risk behavior among MSM living with HIV
With an annual incidence of about 1.5 million new infections, HIV is an ongoing public health concern. Sexual transmission risk behavior (STRB) is a main driver of the HIV epidemic in most Western countries, particularly among specific populations such as men who have sex with men (MSM). This quasi-experimental pilot study examined the effectiveness of a ten-session group intervention, aiming to reduce STRB among a high-risk subpopulation of MSM …
The World Federation of ADHD International Consensus Statement
BACKGROUND: Misconceptions about ADHD stigmatize affected people, reduce credibility of providers, and prevent/delay treatment. To challenge misconceptions, we curated findings with strong evidence base. METHODS: We reviewed studies with more than 2000 participants or meta-analyses from five or more studies or 2000 or more participants. We excluded meta-analyses that did not assess publication bias, except for meta-analyses of prevalence. For net…
Responding to Covid-19
Following the classification of the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) as a pandemic by the World \nHealth Organization (WHO), countries were encouraged to implement urgent and aggressive \nactions to change the course of the disease spread while also protecting the physical and mental \nhealth and well-being of all people. The challenges and solutions of providing prevention, \ntreatment, and care for those affected with issues related to substance …
Substance use, Unlike Dolutegravir, is Associated with Mood Symptoms in People Living with HIV
Contradictory data have been reported concerning neuropsychiatric side effects of the first-line antiretroviral drug dolutegravir, which may be partly due to lack of control groups or psychiatric assessment tools. Using validated self-report questionnaires, we compared mood and anxiety (DASS-42), impulsivity (BIS-11), and substance use (MATE-Q) between dolutegravir-treated and dolutegravir-naive people living with HIV (PLHIV). We analyzed 194, mo…
Effects of Recreational GHB Use and Multiple GHB-Induced Comas on Brain Structure and Impulsivity
The results suggest that multiple GHB-induced comas, but not GHB use per se, are associated with microstructural alterations in white matter and with higher self-reported impulsivity, which in turn was associated with white matter tracts involved in impulse control
Exploring Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor and Cell Adhesion Molecules as Biomarkers for the Transdiagnostic Symptom Anhedonia in Alcohol Use Disorder and Comorbid Depression
This pilot study suggests that peripheral levels of BDNF and NCAM might be reduced in AUD with and without comorbid mood disorder. Since low BDNF levels were associated with self- reported anhedonia across these conditions, BDNF and anhedonia might reflect transdiagnostic aspects involved in AUD and depression
