humulene and Adjustment-Disorders

66 juvenile drug-consumers--development-crises (32%), neurotic developments (30%), abnormal juvenile personalities (38%) - with a predominantly polytoxicomanic drug-anamnesis of several years are examined as to their suicidal development. The quantitative and qualitative progression of drug-abuse, the duration of drug-anamnesis, frequent broken-home-situations, grave educational deficiencies together with lacking possibilities of identification, a distinct social decline and chronic conflict-situations indicate the serious degree of the suicidal development. Different suicidal syndromes are worked out which in the form of death-phantasies or suicidal thoughts and horror trips directly derive from drug-abuse or are accompanied and reinforced by a continuous and frequently increasing drug-consumption, and which extend from an increase in depressive irritations, further psychological disturbances and personality changes, doubts about one's personal value and a sense of guilt to the "sickness of death".
