The impact of stress on addiction.

This article will review data obtained from both clinical and preclinical investigations demonstrating that exposure to stress has a significant impact on drug addiction. The preclinical literature suggests that stress increases reward associated with psychomotor stimulants, possibly through a process similar to sensitization. While it is not conclusive that a similar process occurs in humans, ...

Food Addiction and Obesity: Do Macronutrients Matter?

et al., 2009; Stice and Dagher, 2010) where they “overlap” (Avena et al., 2012). In human subjects, food addiction has been associated with similar patterns of neural activation as substance addiction in anterior cingulated cortex, medial orbitofrontal cortex, and amygdala (Gearhardt et al., 2011b). “Common hedonic mechanisms may therefore underlie obesity and drug addiction,” concluded Johnson...

Chronic stress, drug use, and vulnerability to addiction.

Stress is a well-known risk factor in the development of addiction and in addiction relapse vulnerability. A series of population-based and epidemiological studies have identified specific stressors and individual-level variables that are predictive of substance use and abuse. Preclinical research also shows that stress exposure enhances drug self-administration and reinstates drug seeking in d...

Investigation of job stress among urban bus drivers with respect to daily noise and vibration exposures

Background and Objectives: Bus drivers are exposed to harmful agents such as noise and vibration which may led to increasing the level of job stress among them. The aim of this study was to evaluation of job stress among urban bus drivers with respect to daily noise and vibration exposures. Methods: This cross-sectional study carried out with participation of 103 urban bus drivers in Hamadan, ...
