Teen alcohol and drug use can have serious negative consequences. More than half of youths ages 12-20 have tried alcohol, which can lead to car accidents, alcohol poisoning, and other health issues. Drug use increases the risks of serious drug problems, poor judgment, violence, brain damage, and unsafe sex resulting in teen pregnancy or STDs. Both underage drinking and drug use are associated with academic failure, blackouts, changes in behavior, assaults, and higher risks of suicide or homicide. Teen drug use in particular can cause short-term memory loss, attention problems, and failing grades, increasing the likelihood of dropping out of school.Marijuana

Those with a family history of addiction are more likely to struggle with addiction themselves. Many addicts also suffer from mental health disorders that motivate substance abuse for relief. Both teens and adults can fall prey to peer pressure that leads to addiction. Repeated childhood abuse can shape brain chemistry and increase vulnerability to lifelong addiction.

Drug addiction is a disease that affects the brain and behavior, causing an uncontrollable urge to use drugs despite the harm they may cause. It involves compulsive drug use even in the face of financial, emotional or health problems. The brain's reward system is hijacked by drugs that flood it with dopamine, making the user want to repeat the experience and "chase that high." This can damage areas of the brain related to judgment, decision making, memory and learning. Cocaine in particular can harm the heart, brain, lungs and other organs, sometimes causing sudden death due to its short half-life and metabolism in the body.Drug addiction, a social problem of pakistan

Bipolar disorder is a chronic, relapsing brain disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of mania or depression separated by periods that seem symptom-free but are not fully so. It has two major types, bipolar 1 and 2, differentiated by the length and severity of manic episodes. The lifetime prevalence in the US is about 2.6% of the population. Treatment involves pharmacological interventions like mood stabilizers, antipsychotics, and antidepressants as well as therapy. Proper diagnosis and treatment can help minimize the impact of this severe condition, but it remains a challenging illness due to its fluid nature and lifelong duration.Ad
