Facts
Depression can turn anyone towards drugs. Pills, marijuana and cocaine offer an escape from the sadness. If the addicted continues to use drugs, loses friends and family, he will inevitably have troubles with depression. Even worse than a depression, which people experience every day, is the fact that the chances for mental illness are higher for the addicted person than for the non-addict. It could also be said the addicts are already acting in an insane way by choosing something like cocaine over loved ones and friends. The mechanics of tolerance are still not fully understood. One hypothesis suggests that when habitual heroin ingestion upsets the body's natural chemical equilibrium, the body attempts to compensate for it. More of the drug is then needed to overwhelm the body's attempt to suppress the drug's influence. This kind of tolerance is found with regular use of nearly all psychoactive substances. Methadone users may also experience nausea and loss of appetite, dry mouth that can lead to tooth decay and gum disease, and pinpoint pupils leading to sensitivity to light. Methadone may also lessen sexual function and desire. Fetal alcohol syndrome occurs when women drink alcohol during pregnancy. However, there is a lot of debate over whether the amount and frequency of alcohol consumed, and the trimester during which alcohol is consumed influences the chances of a child developing the syndrome. The only way to prevent FAS for certain is to avoid drinking alcohol during pregnancy. Nonetheless, some studies show that light to moderate drinking may not put the fetus at risk. A study among mothers who drank moderately during pregnancy found that their children experienced no negative effects as a result of their drinking. The researchers suggested that having just one drink per day is safe. However, they do not advocate drinking while pregnant. |

can be serious consequences. Some drug overdoses cause the failure of major
organs like the kidneys or liver, or failure of whole systems like the
respiratory or circulatory systems. Patients who survive drug overdose may need
kidney dialysis, kidney or liver transplant, or ongoing care as a result of
heart failure, stroke, or coma. Death can occur in almost any drug overdose
situation, particularly if treatment is not started immediately.
