7.8 percent have a substance use disorder of all adolescents and adults in the United States.

Genes, pharmacological effects, peer pressure, emotional anguish, anxiety, depressive symptoms, and environmental stress are all potential contributing variables.

Depression, attention deficit disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and other mental illnesses are common among those who acquire substance use disorders.

Drugs affect how neurons use neurotransmitters to send, receive, and process signals. Because some drugs, like heroin and marijuana, have molecular structures that are similar to those of natural neurotransmitters in the body, they can activate neurons.

Chronic drug or alcohol use by you or someone you care about can alter brain chemistry and result in difficulties with paranoia, sadness, anxiety, violence, hallucinations, and other mental health conditions.

Answer:

Law of Effect.

Explanation:

Edward L. Thorndike (1874-1949) was an American psychologist and researcher, and one of the pioneers of behavioral psychology. Thorndike's experiments with cats led him to discover a psychological pattern he called the Law of Effect. According to this law, if faced with similar or recurring situations, we tend to repeat the behaviors that resulted in satisfying or positive consequences, while we don't tend to repeat the behaviors that resulted in unpleasant or negative consequences. One application of this principle was a learning method based on rewards and punishments called operant conditioning, developed by another well-known American psychologist and author, B. F. Skinner, in the early 20th century.
