• Most common view was that drug addicts are weak and/ or bad people unwilling to control their behavior
• Addictive drugs affect the brain circuity controlling the motivated and learned behavior
• Some of drug users start using drug to “cure” their psychological problems
• Psychiatric disorders and addiction are often dubbed ‘dual disorders’.
To explore the common psychological problems among injecting drug users (IDUs) in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia a better understanding of these co-morbidities may contribute to the design of specifically tailored programs

Conclusion• High psychological problems among IDUs•Further research on contributing factors to psychological help seeking behavior is needed•Providing information about psychological problems and their treatment is required by IDUs•Those who deliver addiction care have to be aware of psychiatric
co-morbidity•Addressing psychological problems in the general community probably can reduce the chance to become a drug user
