Danger from arbitrary use of drugs
According to Dr. Suranjit Chatterjee - Senior Consultant of Internal Medicine at Indraprastha Apollo Hospital (India), many people use alcohol, drinking drugs or even banned substances to soothe discomfort.
While temporary relief can be achieved, this often makes underlying problems more serious and creates an uncestuous dependence loop.
Dr. Chatterjee says these drugs or stimulants can hide unresolved emotional damage, such as anxiety, depression or prolonged stress.
If this condition persists, it can lead to mental and physical damage. Incorrect dosage, incorrect medication or uncontrolled substance use can seriously affect the liver, kidneys and nervous system.
In addition, drug abuse also causes the body to be Oily with the drug, forcing it to increase the dose and leading to a higher risk of dependence.
Solutions
Dr. Chatterjee recommends that people seek professional support. Psychologists, therapists or addiction experts can help determine the underlying cause of self-medication.
In particular, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) has been proven effective in changing thinking and behavior leading to drug dependence.
At the same time, building a solid spiritual support system from friends, family and community groups is also very important. These connections bring a sense of security and motivation to overcome the crisis.
A healthy lifestyle is a sustainable solution
Instead of seeking medicine, patients should seek more natural and healthy solutions such as exercise, meditation, pursuing interests such as reading, gardening, painting.
A balanced lifestyle with adequate sleep and nutrition will help increase resilience and maintain more stable mental health.
