... This description has however been contested and criticized as an expression of moralism and sex negativity (Dodge et al., 2004;Neves, 2021;Reay, Attwood & Gooder, 2013). Depending on view, different forms of treatment is suggested (van Tuijl et al., 2020), and assessment instruments developed (Miele et al., 2023). Those who advocate compulsive sexuality as a disease and addiction generally suggest 12-step treatment while critics argue that this method is ineffective and can lead to a worsened situation for individuals undergoing it (Neves, 2021). ...
... Regardless of these recognized high risks, the drug's consumption has been on the rise worldwide since the mid-2000s, in spite of a previous decrease in the 1990s [5,15]. Perceived availability and medical control or simply physicians' professional stress might be behind medical doctors using cannabis [11,[21][22][23]. Young doctors and medical students experience higher levels of stress, are more vulnerable in crises and emergency situations, and are therefore at higher risk of poly-substance consumption, both legal and illegal [21,[23][24][25][26]. ...

Recent research into the use of technology by adolescents to enhance sleep indicates that there is a movement to employ all resources, even those that have been previously labeled as risks, such as phone use at night (Daniels et al., 2023). Similarly, in a small study of French adolescents in lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic, the peer group had less influence than usual, and spending more time with family caused less stress and substance use than they usually experienced (Bourduge et al., 2022). Diverse thinking about technology and developmental norms could be part of the research community's future contribution to this issue. ...

Risk factors for cocaine-induced psychosis are younger age of the first use, higher doses, intravenous or smoking (e.g., crack cocaine) use methods, other PS abuse, lower body weight, antisocial personality traits, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and some concomitant prescribed medications [43,44].

Nevertheless, we can hypothesize that in this sample of patients with severe CUD entering an inpatient detoxification program, the occurrence of cocaine withdrawal symptoms is frequent and could lead to depressive symptoms. Indeed, patients using high doses and having high dopaminergic signs of cocaine intoxication are highly vulnerable to depression-like withdrawal symptoms.28 While we could not identify published studies showing an improvement of cocaine withdrawal symptoms with SSRI antidepressants in patients currently using cocaine, it is common in clinical practice to prescribe them to attenuate the "downs" occurring some hours or days after each cocaine use. ...
