Symptoms of drug addiction and the clinical profile of a drug addict
Ancila Vujković
Abstract
The author considers the disorder of addiction to be a disease encompassing the total behavior of a person - a disease of the soul All drug addicts eventually experience a mental breakdown. Drug abuse is merely a symptom of the destructiveness, purposelessness and joylessness of their lives.
Drug abuse usually begins between thirteen and fifteen years of age, when the onset of puberty is accompanied by extreme curiosity. Symptoms of drug abuse are most often manifested by apathy, absent-mindedness, restlessness, withdrawal, stealing and other criminal acts.
Our society has been atheistic until now. Generations have been reared without God. Unfortunately, we must now reap the bitter fruits. V. Frankl was right when he said that we can only fight drugs with God's help.
