Medical Research Breakthroughs and Schizophrenia

Teen 'self medication' for depression leads to serious illness.: Millions of American teens report experiencing weeks of hopelessness and loss of interest in normal daily activities and many of these depressed teens are using marijuana and other drugs, making their situation worse, according to a new report. The report reveals that marijuana use can worsen depression and lead to more serious mental disorders, such as schizophrenia, anxiety, and even suicide. Research shows that some teens are using drugs to alleviate feelings of depression ("self-medicating"), when in fact, using marijuana can compound the problem. It shows a staggering two million teens felt depressed at some point during the past year, and depressed teens are more than twice as likely as non-depressed teens to have used marijuana during that same period. Depressed teens are also almost twice as likely to have used illicit drugs as non-depressed teens. They are also more than twice as likely as their peers to abuse or become dependent on marijuana. Marijuana use is associated with depression, suicidal thoughts, and suicide attempts. Parents must not dismiss teen moodiness as a passing phase. Look closely at your teen's behaviour because it could be a sign of something more serious. Although marijuana use among teens has dropped by 25 percent since 2001, more teens use marijuana than all other illicit drugs combined
