A new publication by UNAIDS and the World Health Organization (WHO) emphasizes the importance of integrating HIV and mental health services and other interventions, including linkages to social protection services, for people living with HIV and other vulnerable populations.
Mental health conditions increase the risk of HIV infection, and people living with HIV have an increased risk of mental health conditions, which are associated with lower retention in HIV care, increased risk behaviours and lower engagement with HIV prevention.
Furthermore, despite an increasing body of evidence...

Mental health and substance use issues are commonly linked, and it is important that practitioners are skilled and knowledgeable in identifying and working with the potential challenges an individual may be facing. For World Mental Health Day, ISSUP UK, ISSUP Pakistan and ISSUP Indonesia collaborated on a presentation addressing the issues that practitioners can face when reaching out and working with people with substance use and mental health problems. This reading list offers further information and resources on the topic.
Problemas de saúde mental são muito comuns em pessoas com transtorno por uso de substâncias, e esses pacientes têm mais problemas clínicos e psicossociais graves do que pacientes com transtornos por uso de substâncias sem problemas de saúde mental comórbidos. Nesta página, pode encontrar ligações para dados, publicações científicas e recursos disponíveis do OEDT sobre o tema dos problemas de saúde mental e do consumo de substâncias.
Este artigo de discussão tem como objetivo destacar as evidências relacionadas às comorbidades de saúde mental e física em transtornos por uso de drogas e promover o desenvolvimento de políticas e práticas inovadoras, baseadas em evidências, para tratar transtornos por uso de drogas e transtornos comórbidos.
O artigo defende uma abordagem integrada do tratamento a partir de uma perspectiva biopsicossocial e o princípio "sem porta errada", para que os pacientes recebam intervenções terapêuticas abrangentes, independentemente do seu ponto de entrada no sistema de saúde.

O manejo de contingência (MC) é um tratamento psicológico baseado no condicionamento operante. Consiste em fornecer incentivos em troca de alcançar um comportamento-alvo, como a abstinência ou outras variáveis relacionadas com o tratamento (por exemplo, participação na sessão, adesão à medicação). O objetivo deste artigo foi apresentar a lógica do MC para o uso de substâncias e, mais especificamente, para a cessação do tabagismo. Um crescente corpo de literatura empírica apóia a MC como um tratamento eficaz para parar de fumar, tanto na população em geral quanto entre outros fumantes difíceis...

Substance use and mental health needs are two of the primary concerns for many people experiencing multiple disadvantage. We know that people who experience both issues at the same time (also known as “co-occurring conditions” or “dual diagnosis”) find it difficult or impossible to access the right support for their needs.
However, despite these concerns, appropriate support for people with co- occurring conditions remains an unresolved challenge for many local areas. Without appropriate support, individuals’ health, wellbeing and trust in services can be drastically harmed. In this...
Puddephatt, J. A., Irizar, P., Jones, A., Gage, S. H., & Goodwin, L. (2021). Associations of common mental disorder with alcohol use in the adult general population: a systematic review and meta‐analysis. Addiction. Chicago

This review examined:
(i) report global associations of alcohol use (alcohol use disorder (AUD), binge drinking and consumption) comparing those with and without common mental disorders
(ii) how this differed among those with and without specific types of common mental disorders
(iii) how results may differ by study characteristics.
