Overview

Cross-sectional analysis reveals varied stimulant craving and psychological distress in users of crack cocaine, methamphetamine, and polystimulants.

  • Stimulant craving was most prevalent at 56.6% among polystimulant users, followed by methamphetamine and crack cocaine users.
  • Polystimulant use led to the highest rates of psychological distress and major depressive episodes.
  • Significantly lower odds of psychological distress and major depressive episodes were observed in non-crack cocaine users.
