Drugs delusion (Star two, 16 April 2008)

Erm.. came across this news on Wednesday. The young abuser. The story of a young man around age 17 started to addict with drugs which he deny that he don't take the drugs for seriously. The story is quite interesting for a century kids.

It also said, Take Nightly dosage: Some students take drugs to keep them awake all night to study during exam season. Is that true?


And here is the article and some tips mentioning in newspaper about "Signs To Look Out For"
University Sains Malaysia Department of Physicatry senior lecturer and psychiatrist Dr Muhammad Najib Mohamad Alwi says tat there is no sure way of telling if someone is doing drugs by just looking at them.


He says that the effect of the drug could have worn off before the parent sees the child, or the drug's effect may not be easy to observe. "But at the same time, even if there is a major change in their behaviour, it could be caused by something else such as illness or depression." he says.
Nevertheless, Dr Muhammad says that parents should look out for these signs, which may indicate their children have problems including substance abuse.


1) Silence, sulking or anger towards others
2) Mood swings
3) More than the usual lack of cooperation and rudeness
4) Wanting to spend very little time being with or talking with the family
5) Poor school performance, or truancy
6) Dropping out of regular activities, like sport
7) A change of friends - unexplained or sudden change to a new group of friends
8) Changes in physical appearance, eg" red eyes
9) Eating problems
10) Lack of energy - feeling tired all the time
11) Valuable items or money missing at home


Above all, i guess i have some same sign. Example, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9,10.
