Summary
Psychology is a science that is dedicated to understanding human behavior. Psychologists are trying to improve and promote the living standard of human beings. The proper functioning of the human brain is very important for humans. The brain makes adjustments to maintain its proper natural balance. However, addiction affects this balance badly. It causes the balance to change to accommodate addiction. The human brain is responsible for communication. The brain achieves this communication through neurons. All drugs affect neurotransmitters to varying degrees. Neurotransmitters play a role in the addictive process along with the receptors. The brain has different sections and each section performs a different function. For effective communication, these different sections have to interact with each other to achieve the desired results.
