Sociologically speaking, drug abuse is the consequence of multiple factors. It may happen because of friends, loss of job, loss of spouse, and many other factors depending on socio-economic circumstances. In today's world, drugs have increased quantitatively and qualitatively. Industrial development has highly helped drugs to increase in any society. They have much been chemicalized which is widely injurious to health. Poor countries widely use the chemicalized drugs. Drug abuse usually takes place within younger generations. Inclusive economic growth on the other hand implies some sort of direct links between the macroeconomic determinants of economic growth. While the macro dimension refers to change and growth of GNP, sustainable economic growth requires inclusive growth. Based on a hypothesis, drug abuse decline would appear when there is an inclusive economic growth, poverty is minimized, and when the standards of living are raised. In a society with the least of corruption, a decline in drug abuse is expected.

Background: Anxiety can disturb a student's academic success and his future, including withdrawal from classes. The dropout rate was found to be twice as high as in the 1st grade compared to the 2nd or 3rd grade. It also causes people around the world to feel excessive anxiety, fear, lack of self-confidence, and embarrassment. One of the key reasons for the current study is the lack of data on the degree of mental illness, especially in higher education institutions. Objective: To assess the anxiety and factors of Main and Odaya campus students. Methods: From April 21th to May 21, 2020, an organization-based cross-sectional survey was conducted in the city of Main and Odayaa. The survey used a structured questionnaire and a self-administered questionnaire ASQ tool. The stratified sampling method included 300 individuals in the study. Pre-test questionnaires that are also used for data collection, in addition data analysis was done using SPSS version 20. Result: There are 314 freshmen, students of these, 300 attended during the investigation. There are 162 (54%) male respondents and 138 (46%) female respondents in the study. The average student age and (SE) age are 21.6 (± 0.13) years old. The prevalence of anxiety was found to be 26.7% among first-year students. Compared with males (16.7%), female freshmen (40.6%) have a statistically higher incidence of anxiety. [AOR 95%CI=3.36 (1.88, 6.01) Conclusion: This study showed that anxiety is a common mental problem among college students calling for public intervention to prevent more serious forms of anxiety. This finding indicates that women and older students have a high chance of suffering from anxiety.

Mood disorders encountered by the elderly are of concern to specialists in the fields of psychiatry, psychology and other social sciences, especially in the current social and demographic context of increasing the elderly population. This study aimed to build an affective and emotional profile of the patient with neurocognitive disorder. The study involved 91 patients, 49 women and 42 men, aged between 55 and 85, hospitalized in a clinical psychiatric hospital. To assess cognitive impairment, the Minimental State Examination test, was applied. To assess the level of anxiety and depression, the Clinical Assessment Scales for the Elderly (CASE - SF) were applied. Cognitive impairment correlates positively with nonspecific symptoms of anxiety and depression. Among the non-specific symptoms of anxiety, overwhelming agitation (r (89) = .40, p <.001), irritability (r (89) = 0.34, p <.001) and anxiety are positively correlated with cognitive impairment. Depressive symptoms correlate poorly with cognitive impairment. Among the symptoms of anxiety, the strongest predictor is irritability (β = – .46, t(85) = 4.72, p < .001). In patients with cognitive impairment, the symptoms of depression and anxiety take on different and aspects. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new diagnostic system for the elderly, because the psychiatric symptoms of the elderly have a different expression than that of adults.

This study was designed to determine the relationship between coronavirus anxiety with the meaning of life and life satisfaction in individuals aged 20-64. The sample population consisted of 386 people between the ages of 20-64 living in Konya central districts. Personal Information Form, Coronavirus Anxiety Scale Short Form, Meaning of Life Scale and Life Satisfaction Scale were used in data collection. The data were collected via social media between January and February 2021. In the descriptive analysis number, percentage, mean and standart deviation; in the correlation analysis Mann Whitney U, Kruskal Wallis tests and Spearman correlation were used. Significant difference was found between coronavirus anxiety scale and gender, educational status, health perception, being Covid-19 positive / suspicious, being in quarantine as a result of being Covid-19 positive / contact and the effect of Covid-19 on the general life. It was determined that coronavirüs anxiety has negative relationship with existing meaning in life and life satisfaciton while has positive relationship with search meaning in life. As a result, it was determined that coronavirüs anxiety differs according to some personal caharacteristics. As the Covid-19 anxiety increases, existing meanning in life and life satisfaciton decreases; and search meaning in life increases. In line with these results, it is recommended to make plans to protect or increase the meaning in life and life satisfaction in a process such as a pandemic that changes life order of the person.

Armed conflicts and insurrections are a precursor for mental health challenges in children, adolescents and young adults. A wide range of psychosocial approaches have been suggested for managing such challenges which result from these conflicts driven situations. This study investigated the extent to which psychosocial intervention programmes are implemented for the internally displaced persons (IDPs) in the camps in Maiduguri, Borno state, Nigeria and how these programmes are able to meet the needs of the affected persons. A qualitative research design was adopted, and three research questions were generated. Subjects are 200 respondents that are selected from a target population of 1005 displaced persons in two (2) camps in Borno state, through simple random sampling. Instruments used for data collection included questionnaire, interviews and focus group discussions. The result of the study showed that several psychosocial approaches were utilized in the management of the post trauma challenges and were rendered by various professional and volunteer groups in the camp. The study concludes that effective and efficacious interventions for these conflicts driven challenges require strengthening and that these services which are available in the camps require retooling, deepening and some conscious improvement.

The population of the study consisted of 46 individuals with mental illnesses registered to a family health center and all individuals who accepted to participate in the study without sampling selection method were included in the sample. The data were collected sociodemographic information form and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire was used. In the evaluation of the number and percentage of data distribution and chi-square test was used. Results: The mean age of the individuals was 33.02 ± 9.41, 60.9% were women, 63% were high school and above, 84% were living in the metropolitan, 52.2% perceived their health as moderate. It was found that 47.8% of them evaluated their income as bad. It was found that 50% of individuals had a diagnosis of schizophrenia and 39.1% had a diagnosis of 1-5 years. When the physical activity levels of the individuals were evaluated, it was seen that 58.7% were inactive. In terms of physical activity, it was seen that men, high school and above educated people, people living in the metropolitan area, those who perceive their health well and those who perceive their income as good are more active. When the characteristics of the disease were examined, it was found that individuals with schizophrenia and those with a diagnosis of 6-10 years were in better condition in terms of physical activity and the difference was found to be statistically significant. Conclusion: In terms of physical activity among the individuals with mental illness, women, primary school graduates, those who perceive their health as moderate, people living in the district, those who perceive their income as moderate and bad are in the risk group. In addition, having a diagnosis of bipolar and anxiety disorder and having mental illness for 1-5 years or 11 years or more is a risk factor for having low physical activity.
