Glad they work for you. Thanks for watching the video
This is so helpful, thank you ❤
You’re so welcome. Thank you for watching the video
Great presentation and informative. I am curious to know what you’d think about my situation. I have Addison’s Disease (Primary Adrenal Insufficiency) and am also a meth addict. I have been a chronic user for the past 6 years and can’t imagine how much damage has been done to my brain and body. But I quit and am now clean for the past 16 days so my body is still going through detox. I ended up in the hospital with sepsis so I went through the initial detox off meth while I was in the hospital. Will my body and brain recover fully?
Congratulations on your 16 days of being clean. Recovery is a journey, and it's important to consult a medical professional for personalized advice. Generally, the brain and body can show significant improvement with time away from substance abuse, but it varies from person to person. Staying clean, seeking medical guidance, and adopting a healthy lifestyle can greatly contribute to your recovery and well-being.
So if they take gaba too much... Wont the system self regulate hence never experience the excess or lack of certain neuro transmisstor? Why people still experience excess or lack of chemicals in the body?
@Jerry King well I guess this kinda things need more research to know why, and there's not much research on this question I guess.
Using some of your ideas in this content (with proper cites and credit to you) in my drug prevention presentation to child welfare workers.
Ty :) Feel free to share the video and or links to it. I know my videos get used in a lot of agencies and college classes. Helps the channel grow. :)
I’m so glad you did, @Dr. Juli W. I’ve worked closely with CPS workers who really believed addiction was a character problem.
Im addict and im trying to get off this,thank you for this video,now i know what to do
Thanks for watching. Wishing you peace, health, and happiness.
As someone in long term recovery, the neuroscience info helped me more than endless dollars worth of treatment. We need to start basing treatment on this, instead of quackery. I’m now studying this subject in school. Hopefully, I can help other people like me. Most of the treatment I went to said I was overthinking and didn’t need to understand my addiction. I just needed to put my butt in a chair and listen to a simple set of rules to stay clean. Imagine telling people with cancer or any other disease the same thing, and expecting them to get well. Especially diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and asthma, where there is a behavioral component! Now, I know that even if I learn a new set of skills and habits and heal my childhood pain, I STILL can’t get high because of things like cell memory, which cause the addiction to pick up where it left off.
@@DocSnipes Thank you so much for this! Traditional treatment programs told me that addicts don’t need information, because we will use it as an excuse to use, or think we can “outsmart” our addiction, while still using. Still, I didn’t successfully quit a 20 year opiate addiction until I learned about addiction in the brain. I believe knowledge is power! Once I learned:
A. How our brain has evolved to prioritize survival
B. That highly pleasurable experiences are recorded in the brain as the MOST important survival needs
C. The PFC is not as strong or influential as the midbrain, as addiction progresses.
I was able to see that I was not a bad or stupid person, and that my brain was just doing what brains do when they are hijacked, I realized I was a person with a brain disorder, NOT a lost cause! I also knew that if I could abstain, my brain would repair itself. I had quit 1,000 times and never felt better. But I quit 6 years ago finally knowing that, in time, the cravings and impulse to use would diminish if I stuck it out! Powerful stuff! And there is always more to learn.
P.S. Imagine telling people that if they understood heart disease, they would use it as an excuse to eat greasy burgers. The brain protects the addiction with denial, but we CAN take back our brains, with education, support, and behavioral strategies, just like people with ANY other disorder.
Big Like from me
