Sören Kuitunen-Paul, PhD, Veit Roessner, Lukas A. Basedow, MSc, and Yulia Golub, PhD, MD, authors of “Beyond the tip of the iceberg: A narrative review to identify research gaps on comorbid psychiatric disorders in adolescents with methamphetamine use disorder or chronic methamphetamine use” share their own insights on their SAj article.
“To our knowledge this is the first review on comorbid disorders specifically in adolescents with methamphetamine use disorder. Readers interested in basic research on SUD development will find a number of identified research goals that are both relevant to the field and under-researched in adolescent samples (see chapter 5.3 Future Directions, section Testing associations deducted from adult studies). For readers interested in therapy research, we provide an overview of studies that underline the therapeutic relevance of treating comorbidities already during SUD treatment (see Table 3 Summary of onset patterns and treatment recommendations for selected comorbidities of MUD in adolescents, and chapter 5.3 Future Directions, section Integrated therapy programs and their evaluation).”
