Pay more attention to children and their behavior! Drug use is becoming fashionable among adolescents and young people who are the most frequent patients in hospitals.
Toxicologists are sounding the alarm about the increase in the number of teenage drug users, both male and female. Marijuana is the most commonly used drug in Albania today by teenagers, while cocaine is the most commonly used by adults.
Doctors tell parents a way to find out whether or not their child is a drug user, writes A2 CNN.
Meanwhile, doctors have another message for young people. According to toxicologists, if teenagers are drug users today, in 5 years they will be patients in psychiatry or at risk for heart and brain attacks.
Over 30 cases of intoxication or overdose from the use of narcotics are referred to the Toxicology service at the QSUT every day. The number of daily patients seeking medical help is much higher as some of them, mainly female users, are referred to private hospitals. (A2 Televizion)
