Substance Abuse and Suicide
June 24th, 2008 | by admin |Did you know that substance abuse in teens is tied to a high rate of suicide. Many of the high powered drugs that teens take such as meth, extacy and even heroine destroy serotonin receptors in the brain. Serotonin receptors are responsible for your happy thoughts. Without them it is much more difficult to ever feel happy. Living in this state of unhappiness eventually wears on you and many end up committing suicide. There is hope though. Psychologists can subscribe serotnonin replacement therapy. This therapy provides extra serotonin to the brain and helps you to feel normal again. If used in a non abuse way this therapy can give you your life back.
