Drug Addiction
Drug addiction means an intense craving for the desire to have a drug at any time, regardless of place or time. You want to use it again and again. You will have unpleasant physical reactions if you stop it. It is not so that everyone who uses drugs becomes addicted to it. Addiction refers to compulsive intake of a substance regardless of the potentially negative physical, social and psychological consequences.

You will feel restless, irritable, weight loss, insomnia, depressed, paranoia and increase in the rate of blood pressure, heartbeats and temperature.

The addicted person should be rejected or ignored by the society. Instead, he should be given the necessary support and help to help him get out of his addiction and live normal lives like us.
