Why People Use Drugs
Do I have a Drug Problem?
What is Drug Abuse?
Many people are using drugs to deal with feelings of stress, anxiety, depression and low self esteem.
Opinion poll research identifies reasons for drug using and found that people reported that drugs made them feel:
- relaxed
- happy
- more able to fit in socially
- more confident
- feel less anxious
- less depressed
- more able to forget their problems
- able to unwind
- relief from stress
- able to mix with others
Regular drug using changes the chemistry of the brain and depletes the neurotransmitters the brain needs to prevent anxiety and depression naturally.
