It really depends on the individual. But for me, Drugs like cannabis, Can really improve lifestyle and well-being. It will bring you out of depression as long as you have a stable lifestyle. Alcohol can really negatively affect depression on the other hand. But this is just my opinion.
Yes it can
Those in their late teens and early 20s are most likely to abuse alcohol.
there trying to feel better and numb the pain
males are 3 times more likely to abuse alcohol than females.
People can die from the abuse of alcohol.
Most people drink alcohol because they enjoy doing so. Relative few choose to drink for its health benefits. During the great depression people were turning to alcohol to get away from their miserable lives, alcohol can lead to abuse if the person is unstable.
Alcohol abuse cuts across all levels and divisions of society, but the most likely people to be abusing at any given time in Western cultures are young adults (18 - 25).
Not many, if the abuse alone does not kill them then perhaps the disabilities, malnutrition,dehidration or depression that has come with the abuse will most likely kill them. it really depends how severly the abuse is. :(
Theres no real answer why people abuse animals but if it is depression ..., witch i dont think it is. They should't take it out on there animals because that's not going to stop it.
