Answer:

Stimulant drugs are the treatment most often used for ADHD. They can help you manage symptoms, such as Short attention span Impulsive behavior Hyperactivity  

Depressant drugs slow down the functioning of the brain. They typically relieve anxiety.  They don’t necessarily make a person feel depressed, but rather reduce co-ordination and impair concentration and judgement.  

Hallucinogenic drugs distort perceptions of reality, i.e. they change the way a person sees, hears and feels about a situation.  For example, a person may see things that do not actually exist, or a normal sensory experience may be exaggerated (such as seeing colours more vividly).  

Many stimulants can also be addicting. Stimulants share many commonalities, but each has unique properties and mechanisms of action. Drugs that are classified as stimulants include:

Caffeine

Cocaine

Methamphetamine

Nicotine

Prescription stimulants

Caffeine is the most widely used psychoactive drug in the world, found in coffee, tea, cocoa, chocolate candy, and soft drinks.1  While caffeine has several positive effects such as increasing energy and mental alertness, heavy use can cause symptoms such as anxiety and insomnia.Caffeine is physically addictive, and withdrawal symptoms can include headaches, fatigue, and irritability

Nicotine is considered one of the three most widely used psychoactive drugs in the world despite the fact that there are few (if any) medical uses for the drug.Nicotine is a primary ingredient in e-cigarettes, and vaping is highly addictive.

Cocaine is an illegal psychoactive drug made from the leaves of the coca tree.Cocaine is rapidly absorbed from any administration point, including being snorted, inhaled, injected or taken orally. The drug reaches the brain quickly and is then distributed to other tissues throughout the body. Cocaine is rapidly metabolized by enzymes in the liver and plasma in approximately 30 to 60 minutes but can be detected in urine tests for up to 12 hours after administration.

Explanation: There is no safe level of alcohol or drug use and the use of any drug always carries some risk. Combining drugs also known as ‘poly drug use’ increases the risk and can be extremely dangerous. The effects of mixing drugs can be unpredictable and people are more at risk of overdose, including death.
