What are drugs?

Drugs are substances that can change how the body and mind work.
Some drugs are used for medical reasons (e.g., painkillers), others for recreation.
Recreational drugs can have serious effects on health and behaviour.

Types of drugs and their effects

Painkillers (e.g., paracetamol, aspirin, ibuprofen) block pain signals from reaching the brain; they do not treat the cause of pain.
Depressants (e.g., alcohol, heroin) slow down brain activity, making you feel relaxed or sleepy, but impair coordination and slow reaction times.
Stimulants (e.g., caffeine, nicotine, cocaine) increase brain activity, making you feel more awake and alert; they also increase heart rate and blood pressure.
Hallucinogens (e.g., LSD, magic mushrooms) change your perception of reality, causing you to see, hear, or feel things that are not there.

Alcohol – a legal depressant

Alcohol is a legal drug classified as a depressant; it enters the bloodstream and slows brain functions.
Effects include slurred speech, blurred vision, impaired judgment, and reduced coordination and reaction times.
Long-term heavy drinking can cause liver disease (cirrhosis), heart disease, increased cancer risk, brain damage, and mental health issues.
Alcohol can lead to aggressive or risky behaviour and addiction.

Addiction and withdrawal

Addiction is when the body or mind becomes dependent on a substance, leading to a strong need to keep using it despite harm.
When an addicted person stops using the drug, they may experience withdrawal symptoms.
Withdrawal symptoms include anxiety, shaking, and nausea.

Illegal drugs

Some drugs are illegal because they are highly addictive and cause severe harm to mental and physical health.
Examples of illegal drugs: heroin and cocaine.

Four main types of drugs and their effects on the body and mind.

## Drugs - Revision Notes Drugs are substances that change how the body and mind work. They can be medical or recreational. ### Types of Drugs - **Painkillers**: Block pain signals to the brain (e.g., paracetamol, aspirin, ibuprofen). They relieve discomfort but don't treat the cause. - **Depressants**: Slow brain activity, causing relaxation or sleepiness. They impair coordination and slow reaction times (e.g., alcohol, heroin). - **Stimulants**: Increase brain activity, making you feel awake and alert. They raise heart rate and blood pressure (e.g., caffeine, nicotine, cocaine). - **Hallucinogens**: Change perception of reality; you may see, hear, or feel things that aren't there (e.g., LSD, magic mushrooms). ### Alcohol - A legal **depressant** that slows brain function. - Effects: slurred speech, blurred vision, impaired judgment, poor coordination, slower reactions. - Long-term risks: liver disease (cirrhosis), heart disease, cancer, brain damage, memory problems, mental health issues. - Can lead to addiction and risky behaviour. ### Addiction - When the body or mind becomes dependent on a substance. - People feel a strong need to keep using the drug despite knowing it's harmful. - Stopping use causes **withdrawal symptoms**: anxiety, shaking, nausea, and other physical/mental issues. ### Illegal Drugs - Heroin and cocaine are illegal due to high addiction potential and severe harm to mental and physical health. ### Key Points - **Painkillers** block pain signals; they don't cure the cause. - **Depressants** slow brain activity; **stimulants** speed it up. - **Hallucinogens** distort reality. - Driving after drinking is dangerous because alcohol slows reaction times and impairs coordination and judgment.
