Addictive disorders continue to pose a major global public health challenge, affecting individuals, families, and communities across all demographics. Yet, addiction does not occur in a vacuum—it intersects with gender, social structures, mental health comorbidities, and stigma in ways that require a nuanced, multidisciplinary, and inclusive approach. Historically, addiction research, diagnosis, and treatment frameworks have been predominantly shaped by male-centric models, often overlooking the distinct biopsychosocial dimensions of addiction in women. Fortunately, this is changing.
This Research Topic aims to celebrate the achievements, perspectives, and contributions of women in the field of psychiatry, with a particular focus on the complex and evolving landscape of addictive disorders.
The original articles and reviews in this Research Topic reflect the growing body of work by women psychiatrists, psychologists and researchers who are not only advancing the science of addiction but are also reshaping the field through gender-sensitive frameworks, culturally informed interventions, and holistic care models.
Several themes appear throughout this Research Topic:
In conclusion, this Research Topic offers new insights into the field of addictive disorders, significantly advancing knowledge and raising new fundamental questions that could serve as a fertile ground for further research.
