This statistic is partly because drug abuse and mental health problems affect the same parts of the brain. If someone begins to feel really bad, they might try to make it better by using drugs. Unfortunately, that does not usually work for very long. Instead the person may become addicted to the drugs, and then feel even worse than before. The drug problem can make the initial mental health problem worse than before the user began trying drugs.

Many people feel that if you get to the root of the problem, it will help our financial health costs, and managed care provides help for this. Some of the negative things I feel about managed care is there is somewhat of a public dissatisfaction. As I said before, everyone wants the system to change and be better, but no one knows how to do it. Another negative thing about it is there are many limitations on what doctors you can see, and the ease of seeing a secondary doctor. There is also the issue of rising prescription drug costs that managed care does not address.

Many people do not know that taking too much of a medicine for headaches or migraines is actually bad for you. The medications to which are being described are not only the prescribed ones by physicians, drugs such as Tylenol and Motrin are dangerous as well. Just because they are not as complex as some of the others does not mean they aren’t just as harmful. A lot of these medications can actually cause headache recurrence, and even worsen the original headache.

Drugs are misleading; they cause you to think that your life is becoming better, when it is actually becoming worse. “Fooling” is what drugs do best; they fool the brain receptors by sending abnormal messages to it. After all, what good really comes from drugs? When someone starts taking it, it is very hard for them to stop, if not impossible. Nevertheless, if they actually do stop there are many side effects to this, “Persistent vulnerability to relapse long after drug taking has ceased” (Koob & Le Moal, 2001, p. 97-129).

In fact, many patients that seek alternative or complementary treatments do so because traditional medicine could not give them the results they want. As people face health problems, the last thing they need is to take drugs that will treat that problem while also bringing on a host of undesirable side effects. Of course, it does not mean that alternative and complementary approaches could not also have risks and side effects as this can certainly happen, especially when a person takes various herbs or supplements without expert guidance.
