Paolo Castiglioni

Paolo Castiglioni is the educational coordinator at the 'Marco Riva' therapeutic community in Busto Arsizio, Italy. He has highlighted the alarming trend of increasing numbers of individuals, especially young people, who are becoming 'polysubstance users'—people who consume various drugs simultaneously. Castiglioni has expressed concerns about the mental health implications of this trend, particularly regarding the rise in cases requiring psychiatric intervention due to the complexity and severity of these dependencies.
