Addiction is susceptible to all, including women. Women's drug addiction is the most severe in terms of consequences, because a woman, taking drugs, destroys not only herself, but her family, real and future children. Drugs have always adversely affected the health of future offspring.
Features of addiction among women
Drug addiction, as well as alcohol, is twice as fast in women of the sexes than in men. The fact is that a woman in the body produces certain hormones - estrogens, which make her much more prone to the formation of the addiction syndrome. Even studies have been conducted in mice that confirmed that in female mice the final level of the formed dependence on cocaine and heroin was determined 2 times faster than in males. Therefore, the way a woman to get into the death embrace of dependence on drugs is half as short.
Also, a feature of drug addiction in women is that women use drugs because of a negative mood background, depressive feelings. But in men, against the background of taking drugs, depression develops. A woman "treats" depression with psychoactive substances, in parallel, weighting the consequences of drug addiction for herself.
There are also distinctive signs in female drug addiction - the first drug dose taken by a woman is offered to her by a person she especially trusts( best friend, close male).And this, the so-called "confidant" supplies her with narcotic drugs for surely fixing the addiction syndrome. Then, already completely dependent, she herself is looking for a dose. Of course, a great role in the narcotic fall of a woman is played by her personal qualities, education defects, lack of education and elementary knowledge that drugs are death. The tendency to easy and antisocial behavior, early sexual life, illegibility in connections, demonativism, posturing, superficial thinking does not lead to anything good. The desire for carefree and disorderly life turns into the acquisition of very grandiose problems.
Some women with a demonstrative character and superficial attitude towards life mistakenly believe that they are given sexuality, attractiveness and general vitality in the eyes of men. That drugs facilitate the perception of life and push family and work problems to the background. Only here an exorbitant fee is charged for this miracle-drug. As soon as there is no regular narcotic dose - problems and consequences collapse such a squall that "dear mother", or "Mama - do not worry"!
As we have already said, drug addiction, as well as alcohol dependence, in adolescents, girls and women develops many times faster than in men, and in terms of physiology and in subtle mental, emotional and motivational psychological processes. Women often fall for psychotropic drugs: barbiturates, tranquilizers and antidepressants. Often they even combine them. This type of drug addiction is called "polydrug addiction", that is, multiple. But this is the first chain of the disease. For easy drugs inevitably go heavy species.
Tolerance to substances of narcotic origin is quickly formed. And this means that the syndrome of female drug addiction too. Therefore, then it is very difficult to treat drug addiction in women. Although the reasons for the relapse of drug addiction are the same for both women and men. These are emotional disorders that lead to a loss of self-confidence, one's own strength, in the future. This is the inability to find profitable and interesting occupation, depression, lack of hope, uncertainty, irritability, nervousness, anxiety, acute crisis experience.
Consequences of drug use
The most serious consequences of drug abuse lie in the defeat of the female reproductive system. For example, hemp disrupts the menstrual cycle;marijuana makes it impossible for ovulation. Children, if they appear, are underdeveloped and unviable. Cocaine inhibits the function of the fallopian tubes, the probability of fertilization is significantly reduced. Heroin breaks the menstrual rhythm, even in general it can be broken. Pregnancy women discover later, but what is the quality of the fetus? Who can give accurate predictions for the appearance, course and completion of pregnancy? What will be the child, whether he will have a narcotic withdrawal after birth, and in utero, if the mother does not receive the next dose of deadly poison in time.
To use drugs during pregnancy is a crime to a future person. What normal woman would want her newborn child to have a high probability of deformity of the face, that it was premature, with oligophrenia, low body weight, unpredictable congenital pathology, sudden death syndrome, small head size, stunted growth, mental development, hepatitis, HIV-infection and other things.
Women's health and drugs can not be combined. Drugs take the mother away from an unborn baby. Treatment and prevention of drug dependence among women should be carried out on time before the onset of irreversible health problems.
