Psychiatrists say cannabis is gravest threat to youth mental health

Psychiatrists say cannabis is gravest threat to youth mental health Hospital admissions of young people with a cannabis-related diagnosis increased by 300% between 2005 and 2017. By Gráinne Ní Aodha Tuesday 4 May 2021, 9:56 AM 4 hours ago 25,107 Views 124 Comments THE COLLEGE OF Psychiatrists of Ireland (CPsychI) has warned that cannabis represents the “gravest threat to the mental health of young people in Ireland today”, saying that the combination of increasingly potent strains of the drug, and a widespread conception among the public that it is harmless, are having “devastating” effects.

Alcohol use among 15- to 16-year-olds remains high in Malta but continues a trend of decline observed since 2003. This is one of the major findings of the European School Survey Project on Alcohol and Other Drugs (ESPAD), an international study that gathers data related to substances (alcohol, cigarettes and other drugs) and other potentially addictive behaviours (social media use, gaming and gambling). ESPAD is coordinated in Malta by the Foundation for Social Welfare Services (FSWS). The project first started in 1995 and the last set of data was collected from students in 2019, providing data spanning 24 years. Data is collected every four years from 15- to 16-year-old students using an anonymous questionnaire. In 2019, just under 100,000 students partici­pated in the study on a European level.

Irish psychiatrists group calls for urgent advertising ban

22nd December 2020 | By Richard Mulligan The professional body for psychiatrists in the Republic of Ireland has called for an outright ban on gambling advertisement in sports from early 2021. In publishing its Gambling Disorder Position Paper, the College of Psychiatrists of Ireland (CPI) said there was overwhelming evidence for a connection between the high volume of betting advertisements and an increase in problem gambling. It said measures including an “urgent, outright ban” on advertising and the introduction of dedicated treatment pathways are necessary to tackle what it considers to be a public health crisis. The CPI said anecdotal information from Consultant Addiction Psychiatrists indicates a concerning rise in gambling disorders referrals amid Covid-19 lockdowns, due to isolation, more opportunity to gamble while working from home and higher levels of targeted online advertising.
