Addiction is an adaptation. It’s not you–it’s the cage you live in.
Addiction refers to the harmful need to consume substances that have damaging consequences
on the user. One of the most unfortunate yet common addictions that affect millions today is drug
addiction.it is Also referred to as substance use disorder, it is the addiction to substances that
harm neurological functioning and a person’s behavior.
Drug addiction, also known as substance–use disorder, refers to the dangerous and excessive
Intake of legal and illegal drugs. This leads to many behavioral changes in the person as well as
affects brain functions. Drug addiction includes abusing alcohol, cocaine, heroin, opioid,
painkillers, and nicotine, LSD. Drugs like these help the person feel good about themselves
and induce ‘Dopamine’ or the happiness hormone. As they continue to use the drug, the brain
starts to increase dopamine levels, and the person demands more. A person who is addicted to
drugs cannot resist using them and unable to function correctly without ingesting them. It causes
damage to the brain, their personal and professional relationships. It affects mental cognition;
they are unable to make proper decisions.
Drug Addiction is increasing in a geometric pattern on a daily basis. More and more are falling
prey to this madness, starting from school students to college students. Reports of new cases
are recorded each day. Everybody thinks alcohol is not a drug but that is a misconception.
Giving awareness classes can be useful. Parents should talk to their children for a minimum of one
hour so as to understand what is going on in their schools or colleges. Neglecting your children
may result in depression which eventually leads to consumption of drugs. This becomes practice
very fast and grows into addiction. This might even lead them to a stage where they cannot live
without these drugs. There are various stages of addiction. This might lead to a drop-in
performance at school or college.
Many factors can cause drug addiction. One of the most significant reasons for drug addiction is
the lack of self-control. External factors, such as peer pressure, family history, social pressure,
Mental health issues, adverse childhood experience etc., can nudge a person to start
using drugs. A person’s insecurities and personal problems can also lead to drug
addiction.
It becomes clear that there is no part of the world that is free from the curse of drug
trafficking and drug addiction. Drug abuse has become a serious problem which has
affected millions of people including the youth who are supposed to be the torch
bearers of the next generation.
The state has come up with a comprehensive strategy involving specific programs to
bring about an overall reduction in use of drugs, and various government and NGO
agencies are working in this regard. Steps like providing education, counseling
treatment and rehabilitation programs are taken to discourage drug
addiction/trafficking.
As is well said –“it is never too late”.

ANTIBIOTICS
These are the types of infections that can be treated with antibiotics:
Only bacterial infections can be killed with antibiotics. The common cold, flu,
most coughs, some bronchitis infections, most sore throats, and the stomach flu are
all caused by viruses. Antibiotics won’t work to treat them. Your doctor will tell you
either to wait these illnesses out or prescribe antiviral drugs to help you get rid of
them.
Side Effects:-
Since your gut is full of bacteria -- both good and bad -- antibiotics often
affect your digestive system while they are treating an infection. Common
side effects include:
Vomiting
Nausea
Diarrhoea
Bloating or indigestion
Abdominal pain
Loss of appetite
Take antibiotics as directed on the packet or the patient information leaflet that
comes with the medication, or as instructed by your GP or pharmacist.
oral antibiotics – tablets, capsules or a liquid that you drink, which can be
used to treat most types of mild to moderate infections in the body
topical antibiotics – creams, lotions, sprays or drops, which are often used
to treat skin infections
Injections of antibiotics – these can be given as an injection or infusion through
a drip directly into the blood or muscle, and are usually reserved formore
serious infections.
Two thirds (66%) of respondents believe that individuals are not at risk of a
drug-resistant infection if they personally take their antibiotics as prescribed.
Nearly half (44%) of people surveyed think antibiotic resistance is only a
problem for people who take antibiotics regularly. In fact, anyone, of any age,
in any country can get an antibiotic-resistant infection.
More than half (57%) of respondents feel there is not much they can do
to stop antibiotic resistance, while nearly two thirds (64%) believe
medical experts will solve the problem before it becomes too serious.
