Meth And Mental Disorders

Drug abuse, or drug addiction is a mental disorder that causes changes in the brain chemistry of the addict. Drug abuse can result in chemical imbalances in the brain, including a reduction in Serotonin and Norepinephrine (2 brain chemicals related to mood and behavior). This condition can cause a variety of physical effects, including irritability, heart palpitations, hyperactivity, depression, anxiety, insomnia and weight gain. In more severe cases of Meth Overdose, the brain chemistry is so altered that patients can suffer from psychosis, as well as delusions and hallucinations. Meth, also known as meth, ice, speed, crank, ice, glass, heroin, and glass crack, is often used as a form of drug addiction or substance abuse because it is cheap, legal, and available in any area where street drugs are sold.
