This document discusses drug addiction and abuse in teenagers. It begins by noting that drug abuse is a complex problem that affects people of all ages. It then explains how drugs change the way the brain works by interfering with neuron communication and changing the brain's reward system involving dopamine. Teenage brains are especially vulnerable as they are still developing. Psychological and social factors can push teenagers towards drug use. Addiction involves changes in the brain that cause compulsive drug craving and use. Treatment requires a holistic approach involving medication, behavioral therapies, and social support.

"Youth" The Future Leaders! and “The Drug Problem“Andeel Ali
My first presentation on slideshare! This presentation was delivered in PYDN - Professional Youth Development Network's First Sindh Youth Summit which happened in 2010. And it was my first keynote presentation in any conference! :3
This presentation comprehensively explains the drug problem. I have given the Global Scenario i.e. How and When the United Nations decided to curb the World Drug Problem. Followed by the Local scenario of drug addiction i.e. How Pakistan and Sindh are suffering from it.
I have also explained how we can curb the drug demand in our society.
On a sidenote, this presentation can tell you how I have changed my powerpoint skills! :) i.e. from the generic mediocre style to what Jesse Desjardins @jessedee and Guy Kawasaki @GuyKawasaki advocate!

The Developing Brain, Adolescence and Vulnerability to Drug AbuseJack Tonkin
There is significant new research concerning adolescent brain development and the effects of alcohol and other drug use on the developing brain. This emerging science is providing new insights about how teenagers make critical and life influencing decisions, including their decisions about drug use. Brain imaging studies suggest that the brain continues to develop through adolescence and into young adulthood (age 25 years). During adolescence, the parts of the brain that are responsible for expressing emotions and for seeking gratification tend to mature sooner than the regions of the brain that control impulses and that oversees careful decision making. As one expert puts it the teenage brain"has a well-developed accelerator but only a partly developed brake."
The maturing brain of the adolescent may also pose a particular risk toward drug abuse. There is some evidence that the developing brain is prone to the deleterious effects of alcohol. One study showed that memory ability may be negatively affected by about 10% as a result of alcohol abuse.
The Mentor Foundation, an international drug prevention organization, has prepared a more detailed summary of this emerging science about brain development and the vulnerability of adolescents to drug abuse.

Introduction to the BioPsychoSocial approach to Addictionkavroom
In this 45 minute introductory lecture you will learn about the biopsychosocial approach to addiction
At the end of this session you should:
Have an understanding of the neurological systems that underpin addiction.
Appreciate that the ways addiction is explained has a direct influence upon treatment.
Be aware that there is no unified theory of addition, but that an integrated approach can help explain onset and maintenance of addictive behavior.

18. How does someone get
addicted to drugs?
Because of the extra dopamine,
the brain chemistry changes
The brain stops making
enough of its own dopamine
Without enough dopamine, the
user feels flat, depressed, and
lifeless
The user needs more and more
drugs to feel good
The brain’s changes make the
user need the drug just to feel
normal
even if it’s ruining their life
