methamphetamine use disorder

Methamphetamine use disorder is a chronic condition characterized by an individual's compulsive need to use methamphetamine despite negative consequences. It affects the brain's chemistry, leading to intense cravings, increased tolerance, and dependence. People may struggle with controlling their use, which can impair their health, relationships, and daily functioning. The disorder often involves physical and psychological symptoms such as paranoia, anxiety, and fatigue. Effective treatment includes behavioral therapies and support programs that help manage cravings and address underlying issues, improving the chances of recovery.
