Chemo brain is a terminology used by  cancer  survivors to explain issues with thinking and memory that can occur during and after treating cancer. Chemo brain is also known as chemo fog, cognitive impairment caused by cancer, or cognitive dysfunction. Chemotherapy-induced cognitive impairment, also referred as chemo brain, refers to concerns including forgetfulness, mental fogginess, and decision-making problems that can arise during and after cancer treatment. Exercising and using a graphic organizer are two main things you can do to improve yourself. Chemo brain is a term that describes problems with attention, memory, and thinking that occur as a result of cancer therapy. Chemo fog,  chemotherapy -induced cognitive impairment, and cancer treatment-related cognitive impairment are some of the other names for this disease. Cognitive impairment (difficulty thinking clearly) is sometimes misunderstood as a consequence of chemotherapy. However, it can occur prior to, durin...

An addictive behavior is a behavior, or a stimulus related to a behavior (e.g., sex or food), that is both rewarding and reinforcing, and is associated with the development of an addiction.

The addiction components model operatio...

In a few years, men who consume more than 40 grams of sugar daily are very likely to be diagnosed with depression . Sugar dependence. According to research, sugar has a higher potential for addiction than hard narcotics like cocaine. You could develop depression and other mood disorders if you are a sugar addict. Cravings and weariness are typical signs of sugar withdrawal, but some people also experience anger, depression, and other undesirable symptoms. Sugar-rich diets have been associated with cognitive decline, unfavorable neuroplasticity , and emotional problems like anxiety and depression. Consuming sugar makes people more impulsive eaters. According to studies, 80% of persons who gave up sugar and other harmful foods reported that their mental health had significantly improved. Researchers that looked at the group discovered that patients had less despair and anxiety, as well as less mood fluctuations and greater mental focus. Among the most typical signs of sugar addiction...

Depression  (major depressive disorder) is a typical and significant health condition that has a negative impact on quality of life, think, and behave. It is also, thankfully, curable. Depression generates sadness and/or the loss of interest in previously appreciated activities. It can cause plenty of mental and physical difficulties, as well as a decrease in your capability to function at work and at home. Understand the connection between personality and depression has consequences for explaining aetiology and comorbidity, detecting at-risk people, and customising therapy. We go through seven primary theories that have been presented to explain the link between personality and depression, as well as crucial methodological issues such qualitative research, mood disorder heterogeneity, and personality evaluation. The extensive empirical literature on the role of personality traits in depression in children and adults is then reviewed selectively.  Additionally , personality tr...

Social interaction stimulates the release of dopamine . Because so many people use their phones as tools of social interaction, they become accustomed to constantly checking them for that hit of dopamine that's released when they connect with others on social media or some other app. Psychologists liken cell phones to slot machines. Dopamine is a chemical in the brain that induces happiness. It is released every time we receive a message, alert, notification, etc., on our phones. Mobile addiction not only has physical effects but also psychological and academics effect at the same time. Sleep deficit, anxiety, stress, and depression which are all associated with internet abuse, have been related to mobile phone usage too. Amongst the most widely-recognized causes of addiction to social media are low self-esteem, personal dissatisfaction, depression and hyperactivity , and even lack of affection, a deficiency that adolescents frequently try to replace with the famous likes.

When a person develops an addiction , the brain desires the substance's reward. This is due to the brain's rating system being easily distracted. As a result, many users continue to consume the chemical, which can result in a variety of euphoric experiences and strange behaviour tendencies. Addictions primarily affected by changes in the brain's mesolimbic dopamine system, commonly known as the reward circuit, which originates above the brain stem in the ventral tegmental area (VTA). Dopamine neurons have cell bodies in the VTA and axons that reach to the nucleus accumbens. Though addiction can reveal itself in a variety of ways, including hormonal changes and behaviours, neuroimaging and scanning can also reveal symptoms of addiction in the brain . Researchers investigating at how addiction influences the brain have discovered distinct markers of addiction in the chemistry and structure of the brain. When the impulse using a substance hijacks area of the brain that rewar...

Psychology has played a prominent part in both addiction research and treatment. It is an essential element of the interdisciplinary approach required by the 'biopsychosocial' conception. Cognitive theory-based, psychodynamic, and transtheoretical methods are the three primary categories of applied psychology in the field of addictions. This contribution contains brief summaries of the most common models. The Dynamic Model of Relapse from the learning theory field and the PRIME theory of motivation from the transtheoretical area are two important recent breakthroughs in addiction psychology. Both of these developments are deviations from conventional models' linear two-dimensional perspective in favour of multidimensional non-linear models that use theories like chaos theory and catastrophe theory in the modelling process. These techniques are similar to those used to describe and anticipate complicated phenomena like weather patterns in terms of explanations and predict...
