Methamphetamine, like other drugs, is able to short-circuit the survival system by artificially stimulating pleasure areas in your brain. As this happens, it leads to increase confidence in meth, and less confidence in normal life routines. Usually when this occurs the addict will be more interested in meth related activities, meth related people, and meth related environments. Withdrawals of Meth Use: Fact or Fiction?

Jessa Thomson Professor Stillwell USem 102 CTR 4 February 1, 2011 ToT CTR 4 Summary: This chapter in Trick or Treatment describes the pros and cons of herbal medicine. Many people resort to herbal medicine to treat their different ailments. But some of the treatments cause more harm than good. For example: St. John’s Wort can treat mild to moderate depression, but for someone with severe depression or a mental illness it does no good and could even make symptoms worse. Personal Statement: I liked the tables in the book that showed whether or not the herbs/ natural medicine were shown to have a good effect on what they were supposed to.

Both believe that children are being over medicated, perhaps for a non-existent disorder. Unfortunately, it is the parents, guardians, and the children who are caught in-between.
With a strong background in history, Anderson narrates the sixties from one movement to another, building up the excitement of each to another giving the reader a very realistic idea of that time and analyses people’s ideas from that. Something that distinguishes Terry Anderson’s book from the rest is that given his strong background of history, Anderson can be reliable as a source. He first received his Bachelor of Arts in psychology from the University of Minnesota in 1971 and then returned to school to receive a Master of Arts in history from the University of Missouri in 1973. That didn’t seem enough for Anderson so in 1978 he received his Ph.D. in history from Indiana University. With a Master and a Ph.D degree in History, everyone can agree that Anderson’s credibility is high.
Robyn believes that medication can be helpful, but she does give valid points about how it is over used. There is no one true norm for a human mind. By changing how the brain acts just to mask the troubled area, doesn’t help to find the root of the problem. Sarah says in her paper that pain (a problem) in our life is a response to our life. When experiencing “pain”, one reassesses and rebuilds, or takes a pill to cover it up.

(Weinrich,Weinrich) It seems that this could be called the “time of the pill”, as everything can be fixed by taking medicine. People tend to not realize that just taking medicine only covers up the fact that there is problem. Pills are just like slapping a band aid on a deep cut that would rather require stitches. Not to mention, there can be many side affects that could lead to other medical issues as well. Many doctors and physicians may offer medicine in pill form; yet, a therapists hand can treat the actual condition and not just the symptom.
It leaves the patient fairly lethargic, and sometimes can even heighten the original symptoms. These medications almost seem to sedate the patient rather than treat them. Although medical professionals tend to rely on these, stating their effectiveness, I beg to differ. I do not feel that rendering a patient almost emotionless would be a preferred treatment. It seems to me as though these medications are used as a last-ditch
