causes a change in the brain
Causes of substance misuse
- genetic
- neural causes
- environment
- social pressures
Why does this occur?
to feel good
to get new experiences
to have fun and relax

What is ICD11?
commonly used within the UK
identifies different disorders in patients
breaks down conditions
e.g. into the substances used etc
similar criteria to DSM-5
How does DSM5 and IC11 differ?
- DSM-5 focuses specifically on mental disorders and provides detailed criteria for
diagnosis, including symptoms, duration, and functional impairment. Is American
- ICD-11 is by WHO, covers a broader range of health conditions, including physical
illnesses, injuries, and mental disorders. It's used globally for coding diagnoses and
statistical purposes in healthcare.
Why can drugs be addictive? How does this occur?
affects the brain reward system e.g., dopamine pathway
Many drugs, including stimulants like cocaine and amphetamines, increase the
release of dopamine striatum and nucleus accumbens
This creates a surge of pleasure or euphoria
Reinforces the behaviour that led to the drug use
What is the nucleus accumbens?
- a major component of the ventral striatum
- interface between motivation and action
- playing a key role on feeding, sexual, reward, stress-related, drug self-administration
behaviours
What parts of the brain determine decision making?
- Nucleus accumbens with the prefrontal cortex
, Why does withdrawal and craving symptoms occur?
With repeated drug use,
the brain adapts to the presence of the drug
by adjusting its natural dopamine production and receptor sensitivity.
Over time, this can lead to tolerance, where higher doses of the drug are needed to
achieve the same effect,
and dependence, where the person feels they need the drug to function normally.
What does the intensity of withdrawal effects depend on?
- how quickly the drug gets into the brain
- this will be dependent on the route of administration
- fastest: smoking, snorting and IV
- oral: takes a lot longer to have an effect
What is the hedonic effect?
- Surge in pleasure
- Drug starts to work
- Greater the surge the greater the pleasurable effect
Explain what occurs during the addiction cycle
- initial exposure
o gives hedonic effect
o surge in dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens
- effect wears off
o drug no longer present
o decreased dopamine levels
o neutral or negative effect on mood
- preoccupation
o want to get the pleasurable effect again
- repeated use
o frequency of use increases
o more drug required to produce same pleasurable effect as initial use
o dopamine receptors decrease in number
What is neuroplasticity?
it can lead to changes in the brain's structure and function, which is often referred to
as neuroadaptation.
Chronic drug use can lead to changes in the connections between neurons and the
strength of these connections.
This rewiring of neural circuits can alter the brain's response to drugs and other
stimuli
leading to increased drug-seeking behaviour and decreased sensitivity to natural
rewards.
at the VTA and accumbens
and it forms drug-related memories by the hippocampus
What part of the brain is associated with impulsivity?
orbitofrontal frontal and medial prefrontal cortex
What is amygdala?
part of the emotional response
stress and cravings
stress: release of cortisol and stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system
