La peligrosa moda del chemsex

INTERNET OUT Undated Police handout photo of a handful of different types of Ecstasy. New evidence that ecstasy can shake up brain chemistry and cause lasting psychological damage was presented by scientists Tuesday December 19 2000. One study suggested that ex-users were not properly able to regulate levels of the brain chemical serotonin, which has a powerful effect on mood. They also displayed enhanced levels of aggression which were more pronounced the longer they had taken ecstasy. Another study revealed that heavy ecstasy use, with or without other drugs, was strongly associated with psychological problems linked to serotonin, such as anxiety, phobia and negative feelings. The findings were presented today at the start of the British Psychological Society's London conference. See PA story SCIENCE Ecstasy. PA Photos
