摘要：Adolescent substance abuse is a major public health concern. It is associated with an
increased incidence of various psychiatric disorders like depressive disorders, anxiety disorders,
attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and conduct disorders and the relationship between
mental and behavioral disorders and the substance use problems seems to be bi-directional.
Adolescent suicide and substance abuse have a number of risk factors in common. Prevention of
suicide requires an individualized comprehensive assessment and management plan aimed at
substance use and psychiatric disorders. This would involve a multidisciplinary collaboration and
use of pharmacological, psychological and social interventions.
