Thanatophobia among Young Drug Addicts of Punjab

The current descriptive sample survey explored the impact of status of education (educated/uneducated) and locale (rural / urban) on Thanatophobia (death anxiety) of young drug addicts. Devising an effective and replicable Addiction Treatment&Rehabilitation Protocol demands an evidence-based knowledge of all aspects of the addict's psyche. Although Drug Addicts are known to exhibit higher death anxiety level than general population, this research concluded that death anxiety level among drug addicts are independent of their educational status or locale. The findings are to be applied to a larger sample to assist clinical psychologists working in Addiction Medicine.
