Abstract

Subject Compared to other illicit drugs Methamphetamine (MethA) is used more frequently by women than by men. Assuming the biopsychosocial etiology model, the dependency is based on several factors in which women and men differ significantly. Systematic gender-differentiated knowledge is missing until today. Method Based on a database research (PUBMED) the review examines biological, social and psychological as well as therapeutic aspects in MethA-dependent women. Results MethA-induced cognitive disturbance appear to have severer manifestations in women than in men. MethA-addicted women's lifestyle is often characterized by active and passive (sexualized) violence. They show an increased risk behavior;i.e. unprotected sexual intercourse with several partners. Their psychological comorbidities seem to be more pronounced and especially affect anxiety disorders and depressive syndromes. onclusion and clinical relevance In women, abuse and dependence of MethA are determined by psychological as well as social factors. However, further research is needed to improve prevention, counseling and therapy.
