Addiction

2021-04-07 12:20:22 UTC

By Elisavet Petraki

Substance use disorder makes over 20 million Americans suffer. So, it's a huge problem research into this began just in the middle of the previous century. The first investigation discovered that addiction affects rats' brains. In 1994, neuroscientists found that it affected tissue function, more specifically the Limbic system and the Cortex. The first one is responsible for basic survival instincts and reinforces behaviours that cause the release of dopamine. The same thing happens with the cortex with a substance that hijacks that part of the brain with the difference that the hijacker needs more and more substance to activate the same level of reward. But, there are personal and environmental factors that contribute to the development of addiction. However, if you are addicted, there are other risk and protective factors that prevent from addiction.

Write a short paragraph about the main point of the video about addictions.

The professional term about addiction is Substance Use Disorder. All kind of substances that cause mainly the production of dopamine in the back part of our brain can cause an addiction which is basically a brain disorder according to the doctors. Addiction is a nationwide kind of disorder and a very common kind of disease. A substance like drugs for instance, affects the parts of our brain responsible for our basic needs and behaviors that help us function properly as organisms. Under drug effect we cannot make proper decisions as we act without thinking. The more a person consumes a substance the more quantity of that substance is needed in order to satisfy that person. Addictions are easier to appear in individuals of a younger age such as teenagers, as their brain is not fully formed yet. As a result, it can be affected faster and the damage is more severe. However, we can prevent substance use disorder through parental help, proper information and even if someone falls into that trap, there are treatments to it and places to support that person and help them go back to their normal life. It is also shown through studies that after treatments the parts of the brain damaged by an addiction can go back to normal almost completely.

This video is about addiction and its impact on people's live. According to it, about 20 million people are addicted to drugs, alcohol or other substances and 1 out of 7 have, at some point of their life, been addicted. Scientists begin to understand addiction back in the 50s. Drug and alcohol affect the limbic system and the cortex. The limbic system is responsible for the feeling that we are different from the other animals. Drugs and other substances damage the brain tissue and makes us feel that
the drug is what we need. The factors that make someone use substances like drugs are both individual ( like genes ) and environmental ( like drug availability ). Addiction can be prevented and at this point family and society can play a significant role. Also, even if someone gets addicted , this doesn't mean that there is no treatment. Through proper support millions of people and their families can be helped to overcome addiction.

Unfortunately, the numbers of people struggling with addiction are rising and in order to fight this problem, we need to understand it. Drugs and alcohol take over some parts of our brain, the limbic system, where the basic instincts and the need for survival are stored, and the cortex, where decisions are made. This means these substances trick our brain into believing they are necessary for our survival and gradually overshadow our true needs. But it doesn’t stop there. Addicted people always need more of the substance they’re addicted to, so they can feel the same level of reward. This results in heavy damages on the brain tissue. That’s why it’s very important to delay when drug use begins, since most addicted people have been exposed to drugs at a very young age. Thankfully, the right treatment can restore significantly the damaged part of the brain.

The video talks about addiction, a substance use disorder. As mentioned in it, in order to stay alive we do things that give us pleasure such as eat, drink and protect our family. Then the limbic system secretes dopamine that make us feel good. So, we need to repeat them. But an addicted person believes that he needs mainly what he is addicted to. With the continuous use of a substance the brain tissue is destroyed. However, there are individual and environmental factors that contribute to the development of addiction. There are also factors that can help treat it such as medical treatment and professional help.

Addiction by Andronikos Kanakis

The video speak about addiction is defined as a chronic, relapsing disorder characterized by compulsive drug seeking, continued use despite harmful consequences, and long-lasting changes in the brain. It is considered both a complex brain disorder and a mental illness.

The term addiction does not only refer to dependence on substances such as heroin or cocaine. Some addictions also involve an inability to stop partaking in activities such as gambling, eating, or working. Addiction is a chronic condition that can also result from taking medications.

Addiction is a severe and obsessive need for a specific substance/activity. It is connected to certain parts of the brain that dictate vital needs for our survival such as eating, drinking water and protecting our offsprings. The neural connections that it affects start presenting the consumption of the substance as a similarly important need to be covered and in the case that it fails to, the brain reacts by causing exruciating pain and extreme withdrawals symptoms to take place throughout the body. It is possibly aligned to genetic reasons.

In summary, the first video explains what addiction is. According to this, more than 20 million people suffer from various forms of addiction, whether they include drugs, alcohol and many more. In order to keep ourselves alive we do the things that are necessary such as eating, sleeping and drinking water. From that moment the production of dopamine starts which makes us feel good! In a similar way works any form of drug, which makes people unable to resist it and over time the need to take the substance becomes greater. The constant intake of substances, gradually leads to the destruction of brain tissues and so man takes the form of a puppet controlled by a substance.

The second video describes the process by which the drug acts and eventually changes the general function of a teenager's brain. His brain may look just smaller in size than that of an adult, but the difference is inside. The functions and structure of a teenager's brain are not complete. So a drug acts like a hacker who steals our passwords and changes all our data. Other forms of addiction move in the same way, such as alcohol, lack of sleep and junk food. But in the end the decision is in the hands of each of us. We are the programmers of our brain and every action of ours has its consequences.

The purpose of the first video is to inform us about the term addiction and its negative impact. As the scientists said back in 1950 and 1994 addiction is a brain disorder affecting the tissue faction. A drug addiction in particular causes several damage to the brain. An addiction can be overcome though with treatment programs,recovery supports and medications.

The second video describes how the brain is constantly changing and shaping by the age of 12 to 18. Any use of drug at that age can be catastrophic for the brain and can lead to permanent errors. So its important not to take any substances at that age if you want to enjoy a better life in the future without any problems.

The first video refers to addictions, also called substance use disorders. According to scientists over 20 million people suffer from such brain disorders. When someone is addicted to drugs for example he considers them his primary need of survivor and this is why it is so difficult to deal with it. However, they are preventable and the best ways to face it is either by delaying it or by getting help from older, especially parents

The second video, firstly shows how similar a child's and an adult's brain may seem. But in reality our brain needs time to develop, in which bad habits and addictions don't help. Taking drugs if you're old isn't good but the consequences aren't as catastrophic as if you're young. So it's our responsibility to control ourselves in order to prevent further problems in the future.

The aim of the first video is to inform us about the substance addictions. Over twenty million people nationwide suffer from that brain disorder, that affects parts of the brain and make people believe that the substance is the primary need for their survival. However though addiction is preventable in many ways.

The second video explains the changes that happens to young people brains. Every little thing that happens to them and every decision, good or bad, they take influences how their brain develops in huge ways . So using drugs when the brain is in the middle of coding can be catastrophic with long lasting damage.

Addiction:

Addiction is a serious disease which scientists have been studying since the 1950’s. They have found that different parts of the brain release dopamine which is important to basic survival instincts like eating, drinking etc. Dopamine also causes those who seek drugs and alcohol to do it again and again. The more drugs and alcohol used the more the brain demands it and the brain tissue becomes damaged. There are individual and environmental factors which determine the probability of becoming an addict. Some include genes, age of exposure and drug availability. Luckily, addiction is preventable and treatable.

It is really amazing how responsible we are for our own development! We have the opportunity to decide which future we want to choose: a happy healthy life or an intense seeking of any substance.

When we are kids we cannot understand that our brains aren’t fully shaped yet and that we shouldn’t embrace harmful habits, such as lack of sleep, drinking alcohol, using drugs etc. Because of this incomplete phase we are very vulnerable, can easily be affect and end up suffering from a brain disease called substance use disorder, or as most of us know it addiction. This transforms the patient into a whole new person. All his habits, priorities change, because the function tissue is damaged. He doesn’t care anymore about finding food, water, a shelter to spend the night etc., but he is desperate to find this specific substance that caused the addiction.

Fortunately, this brain disease is both preventable and treatable. Specifically, parents, schools and experts can play the role of the guardian by educating and informing the kids from a young age about the horrendous consequences of addiction. In case of being addicted and wanting to be healthy again, but cannot, there are many hospitals, programs and services that can help. Even though rehab is the most difficult and painful phase, it’s the most rewarding one.

We are the only ones who can control how we want our future to be . It’s in our hands to make the right decision, in order to shape our brains in the most functional, advantageous and ideal shape.

Drinking too much coffee can have several negative effects on the body. It can cause headaches and lead to insomnia, making it difficult to sleep. People who consume excessive amounts of coffee may also experience indigestion, high blood pressure, and feelings of lethargy.

One of the main reasons people develop an addiction to coffee is that it contains caffeine. Caffeine is a psychoactive drug, meaning it affects how a person feels and sometimes how they behave. While it can provide a temporary boost in energy and alertness, too much caffeine can lead to dependence and unwanted side effects.

Watch the video about junk food and answer the question:

Is it easy to avoid buying junk food at the supermarket? Why?

B4-LIAKOPOYLOY ANTONIA, LOYTSIAK ALINA

2025-03-26 10:24:08 UTC

Avoiding junk food at the supermarket can be challenging due to clever marketing, cravings, and convenience. Junk food is often placed in high-traffic areas, like checkout lines, to tempt impulse buying. To avoid it, plan your meals in advance, make a shopping list, and stick to it. Focus on shopping the store's perimeter where fresh, whole foods are located. Shopping while hungry can also lead to impulse buys, so it’s better to eat before you go.

According to the video it is not easy to avoid buying junk food at the supermarket. Unhealthy food is addictive because it contains a lot of sugar, salt and harmful chemicals. Moreover, people tend to buy a lot of junk food because the packaging and the colors are very attractive.

Steering clear of junk food at the supermarket can be tricky, but it’s definitely doable with a bit of strategy. Planning your shopping list in advance and focusing on the fresh produce or whole food sections can help you resist impulse buys. However, the temptation is real , junk food is often placed in strategic spots like near the checkout or at the end of aisles. Add in hunger and cravings, and it's easy to slip up. But with a mindful approach and avoiding those high-risk areas, you can make healthier choices and leave the junk food behind.

Staying away from junk food at the supermarket can be tough, especially with all the tempting snacks lining the aisles. However, a little preparation can make it easier. By sticking to a shopping list, shopping mostly in the produce and fresh food sections, and avoiding aisles filled with processed foods, you can reduce the temptation. Shopping after a meal rather than when you're hungry also helps, as you're less likely to make impulsive decisions. With these simple steps, it becomes much easier to fill your cart with healthier options.

Buying junk food at the supermarket is not easy to avoid at all for multiple reasons. Firstly, the colors and the fancy packagings that the junk foods are in capture the attention of the buyers and that's how the urge to eat something unhealthy begins. Also, the haze of the agressive marketing, such as gluten free and lowfat products, makes things more difficult. Lastly, junk food looks delicious, is cheap and there is literally everywhere.

Β4- CHRISI, ANTONIA, SOFIA

No, because junk food is addictive and cheap. Furthermore, you can have easy access to junk food everywhere you go. Another reason why people are buying it all the time is due to the fact that it has attractive colours and packaging. Unhealthy food is dentrimental for your health, since they contain lots of sugar, salt and other harmful substances.
