The timely recognition of physical health problems in patients with
severe mental disorders is emerging as an important priority in the
medical health field. Although it is well known that persons with
addictions to illicit substances often develop a variety of mental
health and physical health conditions, the epidemiological
associations between physical illness and addiction to illicit
substances are poorly understood. This book comprehensively surveys
recent literature to critically review the relationships between
physical illness and drugs of abuse, describing the association
between each of the principal classes of illicit drugs (cocaine,
marijuana, opioids, and common hallucinogens and stimulants) and
the major categories of physical illness. Clear summary tables
accompany detailed discussions, providing the reader with a quick
reference guide. Physical Illness and Drugs of Abuse will be
essential reading for all health professionals, students,
practising clinicians and policy makers with interests in mental
health, public health and epidemiology.
