The problem of drug abuse has become one of the most topical issues of modern society. Unfortunately, it is impossible to forbid themre producing completely as they are used in medicine to treat numerous mental disorders or relieve pain. However, it is still crucial to be able to admit the first signs of their overuse and respond to it. The video under discussion is devoted to this very issue. Dr. Kim Makoi provides several ways to spot cocaine use.
I should say that the information presented by him was completely new to me. First of all, frequent sniffling or nosebleeds could indicate that a person uses cocaine. It happens because of the problems with blood vessels that could be found in the nose and the way cocaine is absorbed. Furthermore, weight loss is another important factor that should be given great attention when analyzing a persons behavior and alterations under the impact of this very substance.
For instance, in case a person is sweating and losses weight without any visible reasons, he/she might be cocaine-addicted. The weight loss happens because of the great pernicious impact this kind of drug has on an individual and his/her inability to stop its usage. Finally, another factor new to me is an extremely high burst of energy changed by long phases of sleep. Individuals addicted to cocaine suffer from alterations of their mood and this very change of their behavioral patterns.
The fact is that cocaine is a stimulator that triggers different processes in our brain and makes our neurotransmitters work faster. For this reason, a person might feel an outburst of energy. However, a much longer period will be needed to restore and renew the normal functioning of transmitters. These facts could help to determine a person suffering from cocaine abuse.
