Sex Differences in Methamphetamine-Induced Behavioral and Cognitive Changes

Women are noted to be more sensitive to cognitive and behavioral changes as a result of methamphetamine usage, including:

  • Higher impulsivity
  • Higher rates of hypersomnia
  • Increased anxiety
  • Greater severity and prevalence of psychosis, bulimia nervosa, depression, PTSD, suicidal ideation, and sleep problems

However, men are more likely to complete suicide.
