Addiction is often driven by mental health symptoms or diagnoses, and addiction can also feed into worsening mental health. Meth addiction is no exception. Methamphetamines cause high levels of dopamine to be released in the brain, causing the brain to lessen its own dopamine production. Over time, dependency on meth can mean more difficulty with mental health.
Dealing with any symptoms of addiction or mental health problems can be frightening. But nobody should have to go through it alone. At San Antonio Recovery Center in San Antonio, Texas, you can find highly qualified and compassionate professionals who care. Find out about our meth addiction treatment program and get the support you and your loved ones need by contacting us online or calling 866.957.7885.
The Psychological Effects of Meth Addiction
Those who become addicted to meth may have already experienced mental health symptoms or diagnoses before becoming addicted. Because of underlying mental health issues, it is important to learn how meth addiction can compound psychological problems.
Meth’s ability to override the brain’s habit of producing dopamine can cause the brain to completely stop making its own dopamine. This means that without the use of meth, those with dependency may not feel much pleasure or joy. This can result in deterioration of one’s mental state, causing problems including:
- Psychotic behavior, loss of touch with reality
- Anxiety and paranoia
- Aggressive behaviors
- Insomnia
- Hallucinations
If you or a loved one shows any of these troubling signs, it is time to ask for help. Finding a rehab center near you is an excellent first step. At San Antonio Residential Care in San Antonio, Texas, we offer a full continuum of care for patients dealing with meth addiction. Find out more today.
