sedatives. In Ukraine, this figure is even higher &#8211; about 78%, according to the Ministry of Health for 2023.<\/p>\n\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Patients often do not understand that sedatives are not a solution to the problem, but only a masking of symptoms, which can lead to the formation of a new addiction,&#8221; comments Alina Gruzina, a narcologist-psychiatrist at the TRANSFORMATION medical
