Neste 15 de setembro, Dia Nacional de Prevenção e combate à Depressão, precisamos falar sobre a relação da adolescência, da depressão, do uso de drogas e do suicídio entre nossos filhos e amigos.

O suicídio é a segunda causa de morte em jovens dos 15 aos 29 anos de idade. Em mulheres, é a principal causa de mortalidade na faixa etária dos 15 aos 19 anos. Apesar de ser o desfecho trágico de um conjunto de fatores – é equivocado e simplista associar o suicídio a uma única causa – estudos mostram que quase 100% das vítimas apresentavam pelo menos um transtorno psiquiátrico, especialmente a dep...

Neste mês de setembro, salvar vidas é falar sobre Prevenção ao Suicídio.

Para o Freemind e ISSUP Brasil, salvar vidas é a nossa missão e o caminho para isso é a Prevenção.

Nossos jovens e até mesmo nossas crianças estão cada dia mais vulneráveis a ideações suicidas e tentativas de suicídio.

Precisamos estar atentos aos sinais. Por isso, compartilhamos um material da Campanha Setembro Amarelo 2020, da ABP e CFM voltado aos pais, responsáveis e educadores.

Quais os direitos das crianças?

Um deles é o direito a brincar, uma vez que o brincar se apresenta como ferramenta essencial para a sua saúde durante seu crescimento, já que ela se descobre na brincadeira, bem como apreende o mundo de forma lúdica, vivenciando as experiências de forma adequada à sua idade. A criança que brinca constrói uma estrutura psicológica e emocional resiliente e muito mais preparada para enfrentar os desafios do mundo adulto no futuro.

Já é comprovado que grande porcentagem das crianças que se encontram em situação de vulnerabilidade busca nas ruas atividades que...

Do you know what Prevention Science is?

The partners of Freemind and ISSUP Brasil, Rodrigo Flaire – State Coordinator of Drug Policies of São Paulo – and Claudemir dos Santos – Technical Director of Prevention of COED-SP, in this video, explain and give examples of what is and how prevention science can be used to make decisions based on scientific evidence. Here's what they say:

Science is a branch of knowledge of empirical* nature, logical and systematic, in which it is possible to validate and demonstrate the data and results, with methodology.

In the science of prevention...

According to a new study,unlicensed marijuana dispensaries in California are opening in black and Latino neighborhoods at a disproportionately high rate, following a similar pattern taken by alcohol and tobacco retailers.

Researchers say this trend could worsen existing health disparities for minority and poor communities because highly potent products sold in unlicensed dispensaries are less likely to be tested for safety, have no safe packaging for children, and are often cheaper than highly regulated products found in licensed dispensaries.

The study also found that California...

Dr. Zila M. Sanchez, Camila L. Oliveira, Dr. Ronaldo Laranjeira and Dr. Raul Caetano had a Letter to the Editor published in the Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs, where they talk about cases of poisoning and deaths from diethylene glycol present in Brazilian craft beers. Read the letter in full:

Dear editor:

Since December 30, 2019, Brazil has had several cases of intoxication due to beer intake (State Department of Health, 2020a), the alcoholic beverage most consumed by Brazilians (World Health Organization, 2018). An ongoing investigation, coordinated by the Center for...

Será que a legalização e comercialização do uso de cannabis aumentam a incidência e prevalência de psicose?

Há uma tendência mundial política de liberalização e comercialização da cannabis. Uruguai legalizou a cannabis recreativa em 2013, assim como o Canadá em 2018, assim como 10 estados dos EUA. Outros países descriminalizaram o medicamento. Na Holanda, a cannabis pode ser comprada em cafés designados, e em Portugal, a polícia encaminha aqueles que regularmente usam cannabis para aconselhamento. Os psiquiatras desempenharam um papel proeminente no debate sobre as consequências para a...

Discussions on the decriminalization of drug possession for personal consumption are increasing, including an extraordinary appeal still pending judgment in the Supreme Court on this subject (RExt. 635.659).

However, it is frightening to see a member of the Public Prosecutor's Office openly defending in an article published on a legal website, not the release of the drug for his own use, with which, by the way, I do not agree, but that the trade or even the free delivery of drugs, between adult and capable parties, does not generate injury or concrete danger of injury to the protected legal...

In another video of the channel Prevent Always, Rodrigo Flaire and Claudemir dos Santos end the series that deals with life skills, talking about the importance of parents' participation for prevention in school,about how parents can prevent risky behaviors by simply participating more actively in the school life of their children.

But have you ever heard of Life Skills? Do you know how they can help us?

The term "Skills for Life" has its origin in the publication of the guidelines of the Mental Health Program of the World Health Organization (WHO). Defined as skills that facilitate...

Drink in moderation. A healthy, well-meaning and responsible advice, transmitted by the alcoholic beverage industry in all its advertisements, aimed at preventing the problems of excessive alcohol consumption. Right?

I'm not so sure.

The first time I stopped to reflect on this was in my master's research in which most 15-year-old students agreed with the statement "it's okay for someone my age to drink as long as they know when to stop".

I wondered where this idea came from, since everyone knows that the consumption of alcoholic beverages is prohibited for children under 18 years and...

Students with disabilities, almost forgotten in times of pandemic, need to be included in order to guarantee their right to education.

The pandemic collapsed our routine daily life and opened up the inequality that exists in society, and, consequently, of the educational system. The inequality of access to information and technology, as well as that of opportunities were presented in the educational agenda.

All who have a connection with education were affected - teachers, students, principals, pedagogical coordinators, parents - and the intensity was not uniform, since some were more...

بر اساس گزارش جهانی مواد مخدر (UNODCP) در سال ۲۰۲۰، ماری جوانا پرمشتر از مواد غیرقانونی در سراسر جهان است که تخمین زده می شود ۱۹۲ میلیون نفر استفاده از آن را در ۱۲ ماه گذشته در سال ۲۰۱۸ گزارش داده اند.

مقاله ای از دکتر سرجیو نیکستری، روانپزشک در مورد کارکنان بالینی بیمارستان اسرائیلتا آلبرت اینشتین به دنبال سنتز برخی از مسائل مربوطه مربوط به ماری جوانا و مصرف آن بود.

نکات مهم برای برجسته کردن عبارتند از افزایش سطح تی اچ سی در طول زمان در آماده سازی ماری جوانا در دسترس، و همچنین اشکال جدیدی از دولت (بخار، محصولات مصنوعی) و طولانی مدت، گاهی اوقات عواقب برگشت ناپذیر است که با استفاده از این...
