Mental and behavioural disorders due to use of tobacco : residual and late-onset psychotic disorder - what does this mean
Mental and behavioural disorders due to use of tobacco, such as residual and late-onset psychotic disorder, occur when the nicotine in tobacco causes changes in the brain that lead to psychotic symptoms, such as hallucinations, delusions, disorganized speech, and disorganized or abnormal behaviour. these symptoms may develop slowly over time, or may suddenly appear after a period of heavy tobacco use.
What happens during the disease - mental and behavioural disorders due to use of tobacco : residual and late-onset psychotic disorder
The pathogenesis of mental and behavioural disorders due to use of tobacco is complex and multi-factorial. chronic nicotine exposure can lead to changes in the brain's reward pathways, resulting in an altered reward system and increased susceptibility to psychotic symptoms. long-term tobacco use has also been associated with changes in neurotransmitter levels, such as dopamine, serotonin, and gaba, which can contribute to the development of psychotic symptoms. additionally, smoking is associated with an increased risk of developing anxiety and depression, which can further exacerbate psychotic symptoms.
