Medical Conditions - Substance Abuse

The excessive and harmful misuse of prescription medicines, alcohol, tobacco products, illegal drugs, or substances, leading to physical dependence and altered mental state, is known as substance abuse or drug abuse. Alcohol abuse causes liver diseases, road traffic accidents, and psychological disorders. Substance abuse can disrupt social life. People tend to lose interest in their day-to-day activities, lose friends, are involved in fights, stop caring for themselves, and become lonely. Changes in personality and criminal activities also develop. Amphetamine, barbiturates, cocaine, marijuana, opioids, and benzodiazepines are often misused.
