Opioid use, unspecified with opioid-induced mood disorder
Opioid use disorder has become a major public health concern in recent years. Not only does it lead to addiction and overdose, but it can also cause a range of mental health problems. One such disorder is opioid-induced mood disorder, which is characterized by changes in mood and behavior that are caused by opioid use.
When a person is diagnosed with opioid use disorder, they may also be diagnosed with opioid-induced mood disorder if they are experiencing symptoms such as depression, anxiety, irritability, or other changes in mood. However, sometimes opioid-induced mood disorder can occur even if a person is not diagnosed with opioid use disorder.
If you or someone you know is experiencing changes in mood or behavior as a result of opioid use, it is important to seek medical help as soon as possible. Opioid-induced mood disorder can be treated with a range of therapies, including medication-assisted treatment and behavioral therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy.
- Medication-assisted treatment: This type of treatment involves using medications such as methadone, buprenorphine, or naltrexone to help manage opioid cravings and withdrawal symptoms. Medication-assisted treatment can also help improve mood and reduce the risk of relapse.
- Cognitive-behavioral therapy: This type of therapy helps individuals learn how to identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors that may be contributing to their opioid use and mood disorder. It can also help individuals develop new coping skills and strategies to manage their symptoms.
It is important to remember that opioid-induced mood disorder is a treatable condition. With the right treatment and support, individuals can recover and lead healthy, fulfilling lives.
If you or someone you know is struggling with opioid use disorder or opioid-induced mood disorder, reach out for help. There are resources available to support you on the path to recovery.
