Wenn Cannabis der Seele schadet
Hilfe bei Sucht und psychischen Störungen
by Lisa Lindberg / Christian Haasen
The risks caused by the use of Marijuana and hashish, widely regarded as “mild and harmless recreational drugs” are far greater than presumed, especially for the sensitive souls of young people: Anxiety, depression and even psychosis result from the use which sometimes continued for several years.
This book gives founded and easily understandable advice on the connection between addiction to cannabis and mental disorders - a difficult combination which is often detected much too late.
Lisa Lindberg and Dr. Christian Haasen, a psychiatrist, psychotherapist and expert on addiction give advice and information about a wide variety of important issues. They provide valuable guidance and orientation for parents, teachers, self-help groups and social workers.
“Legalize it? After reading this book some of those who have a liberal attitude towards pot smoking should reconsider their position. Lisa Lindberg and Christian Haasen are dealing with the connection between addiction to cannabis and mental illness such as schizophrenia, depression and anxiety disorders - a connection which is publicly hardly known. Case reports and comprehensive advice for the family make this book equally valuable for anyone seeking information or help.”
