Abstract

Addiction is an uncontrollable desire for the repetition of a particular obsession, despite its negative impact on health and causing harm to social lives. Although it affects their well-being, people persist in pursuing and maintaining this compulsive behavior. Nowadays, substance addiction issues are emerging prominently in children and adolescents as much as in adults. Alcohol can lead to permanent and serious developmental disorders in the adolescent brain. Among these damages, there is a significant risk of losing mental health and experiencing severe psychiatric illnesses such as psychosis and schizophrenia. Especially during critical periods like childhood and adolescence, early alcohol use poses a biopsychosocial (biological, psychological, and social) problem leading to serious negative consequences in society. This study aims to address alcohol addiction in children and adolescents, discussing risk factors, potential problems they might face, treatment approaches, and providing recommendations for approaching this issue for both families and healthcare professionals.

Çocuk ve Ergenlerde Alkol Bağımlılığı

Abstract

Bağımlılık, sağlıklarını olumsuz yönde etkilemesine, sosyal yaşamlarına zarar vermesine rağmen, insanların belirli bir takıntılı durumu yinelemeye yönelik engellenemeyen bir istek duymaları ve bunu sürdürmeye devam etmeleridir. Günümüzde, çocuk ve gençlerde de en az yetişkinler kadar madde bağımlılığı sorunları ciddi şekilde ön plana çıkmaktadır. Alkol ergen beyninde kalıcı ve ciddi gelişimsel bozukluklara yol açabilmektedir. Bu hasarların başında, akıl sağlığını yitirmek, psikoz, şizofreni gibi ağır psikiyatrik hastalıklar deneyimlemelerine oldukça ciddi bir risk oluşturmaktadır. Özellikle çocukluk ve ergenlik dönemi gibi önemli bir süreçte erken alkol kullanılmaya başlanmasının biyopsikososyal (biyolojik, ruhsal ve sosyal) alanda olumsuz ve ciddi hasarlara yol açan toplumsal bir sorun olduğu görülmektedir. Bu çalışmada, çocuk ve ergenlerin alkol bağımlılıkları, risk faktörleri, yaşayabilecekleri sorunlar, tedavi yaklaşımları ve aileler ile sağlık çalışanlarına bu konuya yaklaşım önerileri getirmek amaçlanmaktadır.
