Biological Causes of Drug Abuse?
Question by ?tshai?: biological causes of drug abuse?
what are biological causes of drug abuse ???
Best answer:
Answer by Beautrixrabbit
Drug abuse is an interaction between individual genes, neurochemical systems, psychological motivations and beliefs and environment. Biologically, any substance will impacs the neurochemical receptors of the brain. Illicit drugs for example interact with the dopaminergic and serotonergic pathways of the brain. These pathways are responsible for reward-pleasure seeking learning. Hence, repeated activation of these pathways may result in drug-seeking behaviour. But genes play a huge role as they mediate the receptivity of those pathways. Some people’s reward systems will be more sensitive to the effects of a drug and therefore they will learn and become conditioned to a drug more rapidly and hence become more dependant. But psychological factors also intervene as well.
Do You Think That Teen Pregnancy and Drug Abuse Affects American Society? or Is It Not Societies Problem?
Question by ubgirly2: Do you think that teen pregnancy and drug abuse affects American society? Or is it not societies problem?
lets take drug abuse by teens first, drug abuse often leads to crime, which often leads to imprisonment, which, our prison system is over crowed!!!!!
ok teen moms, their kids grow up in poor neighborhoods, often infested with drug dealers, they turn to drug dealing and crime as a means of supporting themselves because they see no other oppurtunities, often times end up participating in crimes such as robbery, rape, and murder, so, is teen preganacy not societies problem?
Oh wait, I know, should we just tell our kids not to have sex? hmm……so there are those that believe this will work hugh, boy, I hate to see your kids when they grow up, they will be the next generation of pregnant teenagers!!!!!!
Of course people should be held accountable for their own actions, and I believe everyone is!!!!!!
But if we could do more to prevent the problem, society as a whole would benefit!!!!!
