Is Drug Addiction a Brain Disease?

Question by Robert: is drug addiction a brain disease?

Best answer:

Answer by Ian
Recent studies have increased our knowledge of how drugs affect gene expression and brain circuitry, and how these factors affect human behavior. “Drug addiction is a brain disease,” says Dr. Volkow. “Although initial drug use might be voluntary, once addiction develops this control is markedly disrupted. Imaging studies have shown specific abnormalities in the brains of some, but not all, addicted individuals. While scientific advancements in the understanding of addiction have occurred at unprecedented speed in recent years, unanswered questions remain that highlight the need for further research to better define the neurobiological processes involved in addiction.”

Does This Sound Like a Possible Drug Addiction?

Question by ?: Does this sound like a possible drug addiction?
I used to date this guy. He’s now 20 years old.

A year ago, when we dated, he was tan, very fit, had muscles, had perfectly clear skin, got his hair cut all the time, was clean cut, smelled good. He was hot. He never went to parties or clubs back then but he did stay up late.

I just saw him after a year of not seeing each other. He looked really bad. He was really pale (it’s hot where we live), he looked boney, he doesn’t shave his face anymore, his hair is a long and dirty mess, his face is broken out in acne, bags under his eyes, and doesn’t seem to be care about hygeine.
