It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and if they know that the consequences of doing something are very serious, the vast majority of people will not do it. But there are always a small number of people who know the harm but must do it, just like some people know that drug abuse is physically and mentally devastating, but they still want to take it.
Social perception often assigns judgmental evaluations such as "born bad", "morally low", and "low level of self-discipline" to these people, ignoring the reasons that shape them into this.
The so-called people have no foresight, but there must be near-term worries. They know that the harm of drug abuse is great, but they still do not change, most likely because they have psychological pain that they do not want to face more than the harm caused by drug use, and this kind of pain is usually psychological suffering and spiritual nothingness.
We once admitted an adolescent patient who was smoking etomidate and was exposed to it without understanding the hazards. When his hands and feet trembled due to smoking, his parents were very worried and cared for him.
Later, he has been smoking etomidate, often in a similar situation, and his temper has become more and more irritable, and finally sent to our hospital for ** after his parents found out that something was wrong.
In the communication with the psychiatrist, the patient said that in fact, he already knew that smoking etomidate was very harmful to the body, but because his parents would care about him when there was a problem with his body, which was difficult to appear in his previous life, in order to get more attention and love from his parents, he continued to smoke until he became addicted.
He thought that his parents would change in order to redeem him after he became addicted to drugs, but all he got was belittling and blaming, which made him very depressed and unwilling to cooperate**.
In the follow-up **, through the psychologist's unremitting communication, and constantly creating equal opportunities for patients and parents to communicate. The teenager finally got the understanding and support of his parents, and also clarified the psychological state of "living for himself", and improved the enthusiasm of cooperating. Eventually, after being discharged from the hospital after the treatment, he successfully returned to his normal life.
It is not uncommon for such teenagers to embark on the road of drug abuse due to lack of parental care, and their growth process lacks the necessary care and correct life guidance, so they have no expectations for the future, and only focus on the current pastimeIt is also because of the incompetence of the parents who enter the society prematurely, and they also pay more attention to the emotional support between friends, so they take addictive substances together to obtain cheap pleasure and satisfaction.
Not only teenagers, but also many adults take drugs because of a lack of emotional support. Taking *** as an example, in the communication with the psychologist of our hospital, it was learned that some people who use *** show the characteristics of "dependence".
The parents of this group of people are usually more capable and demanding of them. When they were growing up, they always wanted to be recognized by their parents, but because of their parents' excessive requirements and excessive suppression, they have not been recognized, and at the same time they have a sense of fear.
These complex feelings are entangled together, resulting in their dependence on their parents even when they are adults. But this long-term unrecognized dependence is too much of a psychological and spiritual blow, so they turn to snorting *** to get short-term pleasure. Their hearts are dependent on ***, and the root of this distorted relationship is the projection of dependence on their parents.
In addition to the family reasons mentioned above, the huge setbacks in personal life and career are also very important reasons, but in the final analysis, the reason why the person insists on taking drugs knowing that they are harmful is because of their inner pain and spiritual emptiness.
Having said all this, Kang Dajun hopes that everyone will change their consistent perception of drug addicts, especially for the groups who have successfully recovered from drug addiction and want to live a new life again, they have been out of the quagmire of drugs, and they are just about to integrate into society again. If we let go of the colored glasses we have about them, do not regard the "drug abuse experience" as a standard for their low morals, and let them feel accepted and recognized by society, we can promote them to move towards a new life, and we can also be regarded as making a contribution to a drug-free society.
