烟草使用对精神疾病和其他物质使用障碍患者造成许多后果,但包括精神病医生在内的行为健康专业人员没有充分解决这个问题。本专栏描述了行为健康专业人员目前的不作为及其一些可能的原因,并建议下一步措施。精神科医生应该为所有同时患有烟草使用障碍的患者提供治疗,并领导改变治疗中心的政策和做法。精神科医生可以成为减少精神疾病、成瘾或两者兼而有之的人吸烟人数的重要领导者。如果有更多的精神科医生参与,在行为健康领域解决烟草使用问题的全国性运动可以得到激励。
Tobacco use results in numerous consequences for individuals with mental illnesses and other substance use disorders, yet it is not adequately addressed by behavioral health professionals, including psychiatrists. This column describes current inaction among behavioral health professionals and some possible reasons for it and recommends next steps. Psychiatrists should provide treatment for all patients with a co-occurring tobacco use disorder and provide leadership to change policies and practices in treatment centers. Psychiatrists can be vital leaders of the effort to reduce the toll of tobacco use among people with mental illnesses, addictions, or both. A national movement for addressing tobacco use in the behavioral health field can be galvanized if more psychiatrists participate.
