Acerca de este libro electrónico

Cognitive Health explores the profound impact of addiction on cognitive functions like memory, learning, and decision-making. It highlights how substance abuse can alter brain structure and function, hindering recovery and increasing relapse risk. Did you know that disruptions in neurotransmitter systems, such as dopamine and glutamate, caused by chronic substance use, are key drivers of cognitive decline? Understanding these neurobiological mechanisms is crucial for effective intervention.

This book uniquely emphasizes personalized cognitive rehabilitation, moving beyond generic approaches to address individual differences in cognitive profiles and substance use histories. It presents evidence-based strategies, pharmacological interventions, and lifestyle modifications to restore cognitive function. Chapters progress from basic neuroanatomy and the immediate cognitive effects of addiction to specific cognitive profiles associated with different substances and finally, cognitive rehabilitation techniques.

The book synthesizes neuroimaging studies, neuropsychological assessments, and longitudinal studies to provide a nuanced understanding. It also examines connections between addiction and mental health disorders, such as depression and anxiety, as well as the impact of social determinants of health on cognitive outcomes. This comprehensive approach makes Cognitive Health a valuable resource for psychologists, counselors, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of addiction's cognitive effects.
