Could doctors perceive opioids for server mental health problems?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, because: Opioid analgesics are a group of both naturally occurring and synthetic compounds that have morphine-like activity. Opioids analgesics are the most efficacious agents available for relief of pain, but not for mental disorders. Rec.: see your pcp for more information.
