Sex Addiction & Substance Abuse
Article Originally published at https://www.vingle.net/posts/5299153 As with any addiction, substance abuse, and compulsive sexual behavior can be progressive. Many people who have a problem with these addictions will not immediately realize that they have a problem. It is common for those who struggle with these issues do not even realize that they have a problem. This is because the risk of being exposed to someone else’s negative behaviors or the consequences of one’s actions is usually greater in our culture than they are in other cultures. In some cases, however, some signs may indicate that you might be dealing with an issue with substance use or compulsive sexual behavior.

Human Connection is the Answer to Treating Addiction
The World Health Organization defines substance use disorder (SUD) as “a disease with a biological basis. It is characterized by problems regulating mood, impulses, beliefs, expectations, and behavior. SUD often begins in early or adolescent life but can continue into adulthood as an enduring condition.” An estimated 168 million Americans over the age of 12 have SUD. These individuals are looking for answers about how to overcome addiction and what treatment is most effective for rebuilding their lives. Addicts typically turn to substances such as alcohol or other drugs that help them feel less stressed and more connected with the world around them—the answer may lie in human connection rather than the drugs themselves.

Reasons Why People Abuse Drugs
People who abuse drugs often do so for reasons that are understandable and even reasonable. Even when they don’t know it, they probably feel trapped by their circumstances.

Addiction and Depression
It’s no surprise that someone who is struggling with a substance use disorder, such as addiction or depression, is also likely to have other mental health concerns. Research has shown that having one problem often leads to another. These two conditions often go hand in hand and can frequently be found in the same individual. However, many people aren’t aware of this connection until it’s too late. The effects of addiction can wreak havoc on the brain and wreak havoc on relationships with other people. This is because an addiction to a substance or a compulsive behavior leads to changes in the frontal cortex of the brain which controls impulsivity and inhibitory control. The frontal cortex is responsible for making decisions, planning and inhibiting impulsive behavior. When an individual is struggling with addiction, they may have difficulty thinking rationally as well as making good decisions that are in their own best interests. Therefore, they may be less likely to consider the consequences of their actions when using substances or engaging in compulsive behaviors that are destructive to themselves or others around them. Furthermore, these individuals are more likely to isolate themselves from others due to fears of rejection and returning to drug use if they’re rejected by their friends and family members again.

How to take care of mental health
It’s not easy being human. When we deal with stress, sadness, and other difficult emotions we call it “mental health issues”. Most of us experience moments when we feel down and lonely. But what if your reaction to these feelings – when left unchecked – turns into a chronic condition that is difficult to treat? For most people, mental-health conditions tend to appear in their late teens or early twenties. In fact, nearly half of adolescents in the U.S., and two-thirds of those ages 18, will experience a diagnosed mental disorder by age 23. But not everyone shows symptoms of mental illness until much later in life — especially if they have a stable support network and access to resources that help them cope with the stressors in their lives so they don’t become overwhelmed and turn to unhealthy coping mechanisms such as substance use or isolation from other people.
