tDCS for Drug Abuse Treatment
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

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
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.

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
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.

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)

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)
