Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-V), drug addiction is a psychiatric disorder presenting a major public health burden across the world, especially in developed countries. People with drug dependence usually have more psychiatric conditions or are prescribed psychiatric drugs. Nowadays, new treatments for patients to prevent relapses, one of the main problems of drug addiction, are imperative. Also, drugs that improve the quality of life of these patients are necessary. Furthermore, we are currently living in a time with the most people diagnosed with mental issues in history. For these reasons, we are particularly interested in insights into new psychiatric drugs and new treatments for drug addiction for this Special Issue. Research articles and reviews investigating drugs of abuse and psychiatric drugs, commercialized or not (as well as drugs in the clinical trial phase), are also welcome.
Dr. Javier Navarro-Zaragoza
