Mental and behavioural disorders due to use of volatile solvents - what does this mean

Mental and behavioural disorders due to use of volatile solvents are caused by the inhalation of vapours from volatile solvents. these vapours contain toxic chemicals that can cause damage to the brain and other organs, leading to a range of mental and behavioural disorders such as memory loss, confusion, aggression, irritability and depression.

What happens during the disease - mental and behavioural disorders due to use of volatile solvents

Mental and behavioural disorders due to use of volatile solvents is a result of the inhalation of volatile organic compounds (vocs) which are present in many solvents. these vocs can cause an imbalance in the brain's neurotransmitter systems, resulting in changes in mood, behaviour, and cognition. in addition, long-term exposure to vocs can cause damage to the brain, leading to further changes in mental and behavioural functioning.
