Being a part of this community, I have seen many issues that are getting more common with the passage of time, but one issue that is drastically becoming common and is prevailing in today’s society is drug addiction. Researches have shown that the issue of drug addiction is more common among youngsters. This thing cannot be denied that addiction has become one of the hazardous diseases of the world. Effects of this addiction are never discriminatory and it has been seen that addiction of any type is not good at all, but among all the addictions, drug addiction is most damaging. According to the reports, the ration of the drug addiction has been seen drastically raised for the last few years and these reports claim that this number of drug addiction is still rising rapidly. There could be multiple reasons behind this ever increasing benumbed of drug addicts. One of the main things that must be kept in mind is that as drug addicts are getting increase likewise the solution to hand this drug addiction is getting advance. Drug addiction is the main cause of most crime especially it has become a root cause of most street crimes.
According to the researches, addiction is a brain disorder that is characterized by the compulsive engagement with certain substance despite having a negative consequence. Drug addiction is the complex neurological disease in which the person who becomes the drug addict loses control over his own self and cannot deny to the substances he becomes addicted. According to the National Institution on Drug Abuse of 2013, a survey was conducted that showed there were 24.6 million Americans who were 12 or more than 12, were found using the drug illegally. Drug addiction can change the life of the individual completely as it has been seen that people started losing control, over their own mood and behavior. Drug addiction also known as the substance addiction directly affects the brain of the user (Zilverstand,et,al,2018). Drug addicts take the drug through various ways, they could take drugs through injection also they can drug directly but in all forms of drug intake, they are going to face severe effects.
There are various effects of drug addiction but the most common effect that is above all is a negative impact on the brain. Effects of drug addiction include weakening of the immune system that increases the risk of infection. Drug addiction can cast negative impacts brain and cause mental confusion. Other effects if drug addictions that have been witnessed are lung diseases, memory issues that would cast hazardous impacts of decision-making. It has been seen that not only drug addiction cast effects that are related to the mental health of an individual, but at the same time, it was seen that drug addiction inculcates many behavioral issues in the life of an individual. Researches show that drug addiction serious effects on the relations of the person.
Effects of drug addiction cast severe impacts on family members as addict wanted to stay in isolation and lose interest in the activities that were once very appealing for him. Drug addicts start maintaining a distance from their loved ones (Venniro,et,al,2018). Anxiety and depression becomes the usual thing that they have to deal with on a daily basis. Researchers have found that there are psychological behavioral and physical effects on humans who use drugs. Effects of drug addiction are more obvious on the behavioral changes as people who become drug addict gets easily irritated by small things. Change in personality is one of the main effects of drug addiction and habits are individuals also changes eventually. Another behavioral change that could be seen as a result of drug addiction is more indulgence of an addict in criminal activities.
Taking into consideration all the facts and researches it could be said that drug addiction is like a curse and there are many long term negative consequences which completely changes the life of addicts. Though there are direct effects of drug addiction some effects fall under the category of indirect effects. Indirect effects of drug addiction include breaking of relations and legal problems (Lynch,et,al,2018). There are also many other indirect effects that cast negative impacts of the lives of people who become drug addicts. Drug addiction has become one of the major social issues that are ruining lives of uncountable youngsters who are getting more attracted towards this addiction.
So as a whole, it could be concluded that drug addiction is getting an increase in the world as it has strong appealing power and most of the people especially youth cannot resist it. Drug addiction cast hazardous effects on the overall life of the individual as this addiction disturbs social, physical and psychological health of people. Keeping in view, all the facts and figures in consideration, more treatment are being offered by the medical and psychological experts; so that more people could be saved from drug addiction. Counseling is another important thing that could save people who are at the very initial stage of drug addiction. Self-determination is the most important thing that is needed for coping this type of situation. Drug addiction has become a dilemma in the present time, taking into account that there are a number of people who are using drugs, referring to different purposes. Although there are a number of positive impacts and aspects associated with drug but its addiction is the most devastating thing because it drags an individual to death and abnormalities.
