Soggetti con sintomi nell’infanzia di ansia e depressione sarebbero più inclini the use of ecstasy
Researchers Erasmus Medical Center / Sophia Children's Hospital in Rotterdam have evaluated whether the use of ecstasy (3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine, MDMA) is preceded by symptoms of behavioral problems and emotional childhood and early adolescence. The study, prospective, involved 1580 subjects followed for up to a period of 14 years, from pediatric to adulthood. The first evaluation was performed in 1983 before the onset of MDMA as a recreational substance in the Netherlands. E 'was observed that individuals with symptoms of anxiety and depression in childhood have a greater tendency to use MDMA in adolescence or young adulthood. MDMA promotes the feeling with other people, gives it produces euphoria and relaxation. Especially those with symptoms of anxiety and depression may be susceptible to these effects.
