Who is at risk for Drug Addiction?
Who is at risk for drug addiction? There are three main categories of people who are at risk for becoming addicted to drugs, including young people and adults. One of the first steps that treatment centers take is to identify who among their client population is at greatest risk for drug addiction. For example, if a person is young, they are at the highest risk for drug addiction as the brains develop at a faster rate during the teen years.

How To Access Your Happy Chemicals
Being happy is the best cure of all diseases! Remember laughing? Laughter enhances the blood flow to the body's extremities and improves cardiovascular function. Laughter releases endorphins and other natural mood elevating and pain-killing chemicals, improves the transfer of oxygen and nutrients to internal organs. Laughter boosts the immune system and helps the body fight off disease, cancer cells as well as viral, bacterial and other infections. - Patch Adams

How to Be Unique and Owning Your Uniqueness In an Age of Manufactured Individuality
It's not a terrible question to ask, "How to be unique?" It is quite strange to live in a world where people are praised for being like one another. Nowadays, it seems that everyone has the same body, lifestyle, emotions, and thoughts. While it is desirable to be relatable, individuality is essential. You can still have connection with others while being unique. Modern society encourages similarity but it can also hinder our well-being. While it might be beneficial to capitalism, it is not good for us. Someone is making a profit from this unhealthy scheme if we all seek the same things. Recycling our souls and our perceptions is a big problem for our true selves.

What Keeping A Dream Journal Can Do For You
I started my dream journal way back in 2014. It was a kind of a spur of the moment thing because -at the time- I actually only wrote my dreams down in order to tell it them to my sister. She'd always complained about my horrible ability to explain stuff on the fly and I figured that it was a sound solution.
