Digital Drugs and Their Implications on the Mental Health of School Students

Abstract

The scourge of drugs has become a real danger threatening individuals and societies, both poor and rich alike, in our current times. Due to the repercussions of this phenomenon on morals and public health, it leads to the emergence of deadly diseases and the dissolution of values and ethics in society. We note the terrible evolution that this serious social phenomenon is experiencing in its various types and manifestations, where today we talk about electronic or digital drugs, which have become a real danger to society in general and to our youth in particular.

  This type is still unknown and is characterized by features that differ from other types of drugs, due to its association with the digital space and technology. This research paper aims to highlight the most important causes leading to the emergence of this problem, as well as its harms and dangers to the health of the addict.
