The persistent desire for stimulus then drives you to want to try these things over and over again, either deliberately, as in drugs, alcohol, pornography, or innocently, as in premature exposure to sexual abuse that leads to sexual addictions and pornography addictions.
Ever wondered why teenagers can be such a mystery? In this episode of 'Addiction Guide with Tosin_daropale', Dr. Tosin Daropale dives into the fascinating science behind teenage behavior. Reflecting on her own turbulent teenage years, Dr. Tosin reveals how her journey through medicine helped her understand the complex changes happening in a teenager's brain. She explains that during adolescence, the brain undergoes significant remodeling, particularly in the prefrontal cortex and amygdala.
The prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for decision-making and impulse control, matures later than the amygdala, which handles emotions and aggression. This imbalance can lead to risky behaviors and poor decision-making if not properly guided. Dr. Tosin emphasizes the importance of positive external influences in steering teenagers towards healthy habits and responsibilities. This episode is a must-listen for parents, educators, and anyone looking to better understand and support teenagers during these critical years.
