Sammanfattning
A linkage between mental illness and drug abuse is well documented in the
scientific literature. The major part of adolescence admitted to addiction
clinics in Sweden has at least one psychiatric diagnosis. Individuals exposed
to stress and traumatic experiences also represent a risk group for the development
of drug abuse and addiction and many among the immense group
of refugees, in particular among unaccompanied children have experiences
of traumatic events before their arrival to Sweden. This article highlights current
knowledge on liaisons between unhealthiness and drug abuse. It is also
dealing with risk factors associated with heredity and environmental with a
particular focus on unaccompanied children among refugees and their vulnerability
to mental disorder and addictive behavior.
