I related the experience of my deceased brother to the psychological effects of addiction He suffered from anxiety, depression, and other chronic conditions in his addiction to crack. I'm quite a bit older than most of the students in this class and I grew up when "crack was whack", in the words of Whitney Houston in a 2002 interview on YouTube. Crack was cheap to buy, so it was very popular for poor people and folks living in the hood. He experienced emotional pain in the lost of his relationship with his girlfriend and used crack as a coping mechanism to deal with the pain. His inability to manage his pain, definitely lead to his addiction to crack and eventually his life.

Hey there everyone! I apologize... I could not get my video to save/upload. I am working on that for our next activity.

I believe that addiction involves a biological, psychological, and social component but I feel that without the genetic or biological component, it would not develop. Hundreds of research studies have been conducted and found that addiction is genetic. This can be seen in families that have generations of addiction disorders. For example, my uncle on my father's side struggled with addiction and his son went on to develop it as well. While it can be argued that he developed an addiction because he was raised around it but without the genetics, he likely would never have developed it.

Addiction is a complex disease and must be understood biologically, psychologically, and socially.

I look forward to watching everyone's videos and believe this will bring in healthy debate.

Thanks!
