Drug

Addiction and dependency are prominent conditions today. An aspect of this condition is drug addiction and dependence.

This is a condition that arises when people attempt self-medication to mitigate psychological and physical distress and pain. In some cases, it might also occur from illicit drug use. In turn, this can develop into a compulsive and harmful use of a drug that has serious mental and physical health consequences.

Typically, with drug addiction, there can be both physical and behavioural symptoms. However, in both cases, there might be unique reactions from each patient. Regardless, physical symptoms and signs that are common in cases of drug dependency include:

Strange feelings after the drug try out
Withdrawal symptoms such as sweating, breathing difficulties, shakiness
Increased tolerance to substance intake such that there is an increased need for drugs to get the same effect

Beyond this, there are other behavioural symptoms and signs of drug dependency or addiction. They include:

Secretive behaviours when it comes to drug use
A considerable amount of time considering and thinking about using the drug
Lying to doctors, pharmacist, friends, and family about drug use

Typically, the most abused medication, include analgesics, stimulants, hallucinogens, depressants.
