Understanding Drugs and Addiction

I am writing some important tips and bits that I wrote down while attending Lone Star-Tomball college a few years ago. This is a collection of things I wrote down that Professor Steve Lewis and Dr. Haberman spoke to our classes about. I would love some feedback on what you think about each item. Feel free to comment. I am not responsible to the accuracy or validity of these statements. These are notes I wrote down during lectures.

1) If someone comes of an addiction without getting depressed, there is usually another addiction.

2) Internet addiction is an Emotional Attachment. Family violence is a Behavioral Addiction, just like Criminality (one inclined to commit many crimes).

3) Antidepressants are NOT recommended for people who have NO addictions.

4) The longer a patient stayed in the hospital, the level of the patient’s functioning when down (Mental Health Hospitals).

5) Only about 10% of our person (who we are) is actually seen and known by others. Imagine an iceberg with only a small tip showing above the water is 10%. What is unseen is about 90% (fears, self-doubts, anger, sexuality, etc.)

6) We cannot judge people as most behavior comes from the unconscience mind. (Note: I am not sure I buy into this one completely) ; )

I will be adding more tips and bits at another time. If you agree or disagree, please comment back and let me know why.

Thanks for reading! May God Bless You!

Quote for the Week…

We should not judge people based on where they are in God. Just because they are in Kindergarten doesn’t mean they aren’t in school. Rev. Herman Day- October 2009
