Why are DRUGS so hard to Quiet ?



It is an awesome video everyone should watch .It is produced by NIH National Institute Of Drug Abuse. It explains in a simple way, what is addiction? Why it is hard to quiet addiction to drugs like Alcohol, Nicotine, Internet as well s sex etc. Addiction is not a curse or something that is caused by some Demons or Evil Spirits.It is in fact, a disease.A disease That affects the brain. A disease that affects the reward centre of the brain. Many people fail to overcome addiction by failing to keep up their decision to stop alcohol.It is not because they are weak-hearted nor they are under the hilarious slavery of so called diabolic spirits. But because they have acquired neuropsychiatric disorder that affects the neurotransmitter system of the reward centre of brain located in the Limbic cortex. More specifically speaking, drugs develop addiction by flooding the circuits of the reward centre with a neurotransmitter called Dopamine. It is a neurotransmitter present in regions of the brain responsible for mediating emotion, cognition, feeling of pleasure and motivation. The overstimulation of this system, which rewards our natural behaviours, produces the euphoric effects sought by people who abuse drugs and teaches them to repeat the behaviour.
