Dr. Viorela Nițescu draws attention to the increased consumption of psychoactive substances and energy drinks by young people, especially in times of stress.

Dr. Viorela Nițescu, a primary pediatrician and toxicologist, points out that many young people use psychoactive substances, such as amphetamines and cannabis, during exams or stress. Cannabis concentrations have increased significantly, leading to rapid addiction. Excessive consumption of energy drinks can cause serious cardiovascular problems.
