Self-medication can simply be defined or refered to as an elisite use or drugs, or other substances without the propal prescription by a Dictor or physician before taking the drugs.
Or self-medication can be described as an act of taking drugs out of self assumption without the help of a Dictor or a physican.
Self-medication and self-medicating refer to the use of a drug, alcohol, food or other substance, or a certain activity such as sex or gambling, to relieve stress, anger, depression or other unwanted emotional states or symptoms of mental illnesses.
Self-medication can lead to chemical dependencies and other health issues, including obesity.
THE RISK OF SELF MEDICATION
For example, people with
Anxiety often abuse marijuana.
Depressives tend to abuse alcohol and opiates.
and those with low self-esteem often use stimulants.
THE HEALTH RISKS ATTACHED TO SELFMEDICATIONS
Drug addiction: If you keep using a drug without a prescription, it is easy to get addicted to that drug and this addiction results from drug abuse.
Drug interaction: This occurs when you take in drugs that have conflicting mechanisms of action. The reactions of drug A might affect or influence the reactions of drug B and it is one of the major reasons why it is not advisable to practice self-medication.
Overdose: Overdose can easily result from being ignorant of the required dose of a particular drug. If you are not sure of how many tablets to swallow, please consult your doctor for a proper prescription.
A drug overdose can be very harmful to health and may even result in death in the absence of medical intervention.
Drug sensitivity: Another reason why you should avoid self-medication is sensitivity to certain drugs. A drug that works for your friend might not have the same effect on you. This is why you should get your prescriptions from your doctor.
Self-medication usually makes things worse because an underlying mental illness can be ignored for years, leading to unnecessary suffering and impaired functioning. Abusing drugs and other substances typically leads to problems in health, career and relationships, as well as feelings of guilt, loss of control and even legal troubles.
Part of recovery from chemical dependencies is forgoing self-medication and learning new ways to cope with stress and everyday emotions through healthy outlets such as sports, relaxation techniques and hobbies, among other activities.
