The coordinator of the National Mental Health Program explained, at the media anti -drug, that a recent study shows a direct connection between the consumption of energizers and the appearance of anxiety or suicide thoughts.
“It is a study that appeared about a month ago, done on tens of thousands. The results show that those who consumed energizing had a higher risk of anxiety and suicidal ideation. So, especially in children, it is very good to avoid.said Sorin Pletea, quoted by News.ro.
The specialist believes that the results are an alarm signal and insist that teenagers will reduce or even completely give up this type of drinks.
At the same time, Pletea also draws attention to marijuana consumption, which can affect the learning ability.
“Adolescents who consume marijuana have a gap about academic acquisitions towards their colleagues who do not consume.”explained the doctor.
Asked how young people get to procure these substances, the psychiatrist says that patients avoid providing details. “Unfortunately, we don’t find out much. After all, we, as doctors, are not a police. We see the patient, but we must advise him not to consume, to break with the old habits and entourage that can maintain the consumption ”, he pointed out.
