Addictions

They give you a pretty good buzz with just a gram, but if you crush the leaves into sprinkles they work better than just leaves.

People probably imagine the game is real life, and they let the game go to their head. I know I do! And they are geeks loool and they have nothing else better to do than make games to kill brain cells

Not directly. However, there have been numerous cases in which prolonged, intense sessions of gaming have resulted in a person's death. One reason is that gamers will often be sitting in the same position for many hours on end. After a very prolonged period of sitting in the same position (if I had to guess, around as little as 18 hours or as much as 36 hours) a blood clot can form in a major artery. The blood clot will likely remain dormant until the player takes a break, and as soon as they change positions and/or stand up the blood clot can become dislodged and shoot into the person's heart causing cardiac arrest. Other things unrelated to blood clots, usually related to extreme hypertension, can lead to a gamer's death.

So, no, not directly. The sedentary nature of gaming can definitely lead to issues that can lead to the death of those who game.

children get addicted to video games because the maker makes the game so much fun. the whole "addicted" part is that they want to finish a level and then when they find that is accomplished they want to play more and more till A: they are bored with the game or B: they accomplish every level. hope this helps!

Any type of addiction, including Internet addiction is an attempt to fill unfulfilled emotional need. It is usually either an escape, or an attempt to reach out for affection and emotional gratification.

Many of us joke that we are addicted to WikiAnswers. To some degree we may be more than joking! Some addictions have to be better for you than others, but no true addiction is healthy. If it is causing problems in your everyday life, then maybe it is time to consider directing some of your attention elsewhere for a while.

A gambling addiction is no different than any other addiction. Sometimes people are too immature, narcissistic and selfish to deal with their problems. Or, sometimes people are just too psychologically damaged, and their psyches simply aren't strong enough to withstand it and cope with it, or they don't have enough support from friends and family. Or more than one (or all) of these things can be true.

Whatever the reason, the person feels bad. Addictive behaviors like drugs or gambling provide short-term pleasure. The long-term consequences are terrible, but sometimes when people feel really bad all the time, they will do anything to feel good for just a little while.

Be it gambling, drugs, or compulsive shopping, or compulsive exercise, or whatever else, it makes them feel great for a little while. Drugs get you high. Gamblers experience a high, too, when they're playing. Rather than chasing the dragon, they're chasing the next big win. They feel a rush of excitement and anticipation, each time they make a bet.

Compulsive shoppers experience the, "high of the buy." When they find something they like -- and especially if they can get a bargain on it -- they feel the same kind of excitement and anticipation that gamblers feel. They feel almost euphoric, like a person who is high on heroin or cocaine or speed would feel.

The only way to recover from an addiction is to learn to deny yourself the short-term pleasure, in favor of the long-term reward. Drugs may make you feel great right now, but in the long run, you're miserable. Denying yourself drugs may mean that you feel bad now, but that doesn't mean you won't feel much happier in the future.

Gambling addicts (and compulsive shoppers) throw away all their money and ruin both their careers and all their relationships with their friends, family and spouses, the same way that drug addicts do. Quitting and recovering from the addiction means that you have a steady job to make you feel worthwhile and useful, money to support yourself, and having your friends and family want to be around you again.

Caffeine, by a wide margin. Caffeine is the most commonly used psychoactive drug in the world. Approximately 80% of the world's population consumes it on a daily basis.

There is, however, considerable discussion about whether or not caffeine is in fact addictive. Those who hold that it is point to the undeniable withdrawal symptoms that make it difficult to stop using coffee and other caffeine-containing substances.

The cons say that there is no proven harm to caffeine consumption, and that this lack of harm and lack of interference with user's lives put it out of the addiction category.

There is ongoing research. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual IV lists caffeine addiction as a "proposed diagnosis," and encourages more research.

People who have sickle cell should try to avoid consuming alcohol if at all possible. This is because sickle cell causes the patient to become dehydrated in the first place, so drinking alcohol would only exacerbate the problem.

Chewing gum must contain a gum base, such as polyethylene and polyvinyl acetate. It also contains sweeteners and softeners such as sugar and glycerin or vegetable oil.

The brain has many chemicals, or neurotransmitters. "Neuro" because the brain is the central nervous system of the body, and "transmitter" because neurotransmitter carry messages from one part of the brain to another. One of these chemicals is called Dopamine.

The brain has many "offices", or areas of function. One of these "offices" is the office of "feeling good." When we do something that is good for us, as long as it is done in moderation, the brain releases Dopamine to tell us this is a behavior that feels good: it makes us feel good, or satisfied, and causes us to seek out that same substance again. In fact, this is what keeps us alive. If we didn't enjoy eating because Dopamine tells us it is an enjoyable experience, we would starve to death without intervention!! In fact, we feel the effects of Dopamine during sex, when we excercise, and when we get a good massage! As well as other things.

However, when we take a drug, say Cocaine, the coke fools the body into thinking it is dopamine, and it "binds" or attaches itself to the Dopamine. What happens in a normal situation is that you eat, you feel good, and then the dopamine stops being released and what is in the brain gets reabsorbed. You don't have feelings of euphoria for an hour, no matter how good the chocolate cake was. That is because the dopamine is long gone by then. However, when it is attached to a mind altering drug, it does not get reabsorbed into the brain. Instead, it hangs out for awhile, releasing and re-releasing feelings of pleasure for a time, whether that is 20 minutes or a few hours depends on which drug you took. That is because the drug interferes with the brain's normal mechanism for processing the dopamine.

Then, when the drug wears off, the person may want to repeat that feeling, and they will get some more of the drug. This is how addiction starts. Over a period of time, the experience will begin to be less exciting for them, and this also has to do with the amount of dopamine being released into the brain-natural dopamine in the brain is released in smaller and smaller amounts due to drug abuse. They begin to need more and more of the drug to obtain the initial high. Over time, their natural levels of dopamine have dropped so low that without the drug, they become depressed, develop nervous twitches and anxiety, feel sick and in pain, and may even be suicidal. This is when it becomes addictive: when they absolutely need the drug to re-create even normal levels of dopamine in the brain, and more than that to feel high.
