Description

The psychiatric disorder rates among opioid dependents have alarmingly increased over the last decades, and these disorders are higher for women than men and higher for individuals in low socioeconomic groups. Previous knowledge asserted that opioids had no addictive or harmful effects that could lead to psychiatric disorders, but the recent discovery of opioid-related knowledge reversed the existing belief. The purpose of this research is to discover how the new knowledge has changed regarding psychiatric disorders from opioids between men and woman and across socioeconomic groups. In order to uncover these changes, the research data is obtained from the Treatment Episode Data Set (TEDS) in 2007 and 2017. While the percentage of psychiatric disorders among opioid dependents is higher for women than men, unexpectedly the growth rate of psychiatric disorders for men is much faster than women. As such, the socially constructed conventional knowledge that psychiatric disorders are women’s illness will change in the near future. Congruent with existing knowledge, psychiatric disorders in this dataset are higher for underprivileged brackets such as those with low education, unemployed, separated, divorced, and widowed people, and Medicaid recipients, and the growth rates for these groups are steeper than their counterparts.
