Got it! Let's ensure we capture everything. Health Care Program Health Care at Home and in the Community There are ten (10) ways to stay healthy at home with your family: Immunize - Immunization is the best bargain in health care. When you immunize, you prevent illness in your family as well as an epidemic in your community. Keep moving - Fitness is essential to good health. Exercise makes a huge difference both in how you and your family feel and in what illnesses you get. Eat right - It means eating a well-balanced, low-fat diet. Wholesome food will keep your family energetic and free from many illnesses. Control stress - Even with a hectic and hurried lifestyle, your family can prevent stress from undermining their health. Be smoke-free - Smokers who quit smoking gain tremendous health benefits; so do people who avoid second-hand smoke. Avoid drugs and excessive alcohol - When you say "no" to drugs and limit what you drink, you prevent accidents and illnesses and avoid a lot of problems for yourself and your family. Put safety first - Safety at home, safety at work, safety at play, safe driving, firearm safety, and safe sex will all keep you and your family healthy. Pursue healthy pleasures - Take a nap, relax during meals, play with kids, care for a pet—they all can add to maintaining good health. Think well of yourself - A good self-image is the foundation of good health. Promote peace - Peace on earth begins at home. Seek non-violent ways of resolving conflicts at home, in school, at work, and in your community. Vital Signs With a few tools and an observant eye, you can help detect and monitor health problems in your family. A normal body temperature ranges from 36.9°C to 37.2°C (97.6°F to 99.6°F) and for most people it is 37.5°C (98.6°F). Minor changes in temperature are due to the time of day and other factors. Whenever a person feels hot or cold to your touch, it is a good idea to measure and record their temperature. There are four ways to take body temperature: Orally (in the mouth) Oral temperatures are recommended for adults and children ages six years and older. Clean the thermometer with soap and water or rubbing alcohol. Hold it firmly at the end opposite the bulb and shake the mercury down to 35°C (95°F) or lower. Rectally (in the anus) Rectal temperatures are recommended for children younger than six years or anyone who cannot hold the thermometer in their mouth. Clean the thermometer and shake it down to a lower temperature. Apply lubricant to the bulb. Position the child bottom-up across your lap. Hold the thermometer one inch from the bulb and gently insert it not more than one inch into the rectum. Do not let go of it. Hold it right at the anus so that it cannot slip in further. Wait for three minutes. Rectal temperatures are 0.3°C to 0.6°C (0.5°F to 1°F) higher than oral temperatures. Axillary (under the armpit) Axillary temperatures are less accurate and about 0.6°C (1°F) lower than oral. Use either an oral or rectal thermometer. Shake it down below 35°C or 95°F. Place the thermometer in the armpit and have the child cross their arm across the chest and hold the opposite upper arm. Wait for five minutes. Read and record the temperature. Using an electronic oral or ear thermometer or temperature strip Electronic thermometers are convenient, easy to use, and quite accurate, but some are expensive. Temperature strips are convenient but should only be used to measure axillary (armpit) temperature. Taking a Pulse Rate The pulse is the rate at which a person's heart is beating. Certain illnesses can cause the pulse to increase, so it is helpful to know your resting pulse when you are well. The pulse rate rises about 10 beats per minute for every degree of fever. Count the pulse after the person has been sitting or resting quietly for 5-10 minutes. The pulse can be taken at the wrist, neck, or upper arm. I hope this helps with your studies! If you need any more assistance or details, feel free to ask. Good luck! this too Sure, here's the text from the third image you provided: Counting Respiratory Rates Respiratory rate refers to how many breaths you take in a minute. The best time to count is when the person is resting, perhaps after taking the pulse while your fingers are still on their wrist. The person’s breathing is likely to change if they know you are counting it. Respiration rate increases with fever and some illnesses. Count the rise and fall of the chest for one full minute. Notice whether there is any sucking in beneath the ribs or any apparent wheezing which is a sign of difficult breathing. Measuring Blood Pressure Blood pressure is the force of the blood against the walls of the arteries. The pressure when the heart beats is called the systolic pressure (the first number in blood pressure readings). The pressure between the beats, when the heart is at rest is called diastolic pressure. Any blood pressure below 140/90 is considered normal for adults over 18. Blood pressure is measured by a stethoscope and a blood pressure cuff (sphygmomanometer). Electronic blood pressure cuffs are also available, which do not require a stethoscope or good hearing. Family Planning and Birth Control Family planning is having the number of children you want if you are raising a family. Different parents have different reasons for wanting to limit the size of their family. Some young parents may decide to delay having any children until they have worked and saved enough so that they can afford to care for them well. Some parents may decide that a small number of children is enough, but others may want more. Others may want to space their children, so the mothers will be healthier. There are several methods to prevent women from becoming pregnant for as long as they wish. These are the so-called methods of birth control or forms of contraceptives. Difference in effectiveness, safety, convenience, availability, and cost should be considered in choosing and using a birth control method. Husbands and wives should decide together and share the responsibility for the method/s that they adopt. Birth Control Pills (Oral Contraceptives): The "pill" is one of the most effective methods for avoiding pregnancy. This should be given by health workers, midwives, or other trained persons. The pills usually come in packets of 21 or 28 tablets. They are less expensive depending on the brand of the pills. Feel free to add this to your Quizlet for studying! If you need any more information or assistance, just let me know. Happy studying! this too Here’s the text from the fourth image you provided: Health Care Program and Drug Abuse Education 1. How to take the pills (packet of 21 tablets) Take the first pill on the fifth day from the beginning of your period as day one. Then take one pill every day until all the tablets are consumed (21 days). This way, you will take the pills for three weeks out of each month, then go one week without taking any. Normally, the menstrual period will occur during the week when the pill is not taken. Even if the period does not come, start the new packet seven days after finishing the last one. 2. Side effects Some women experience morning sickness, swelling of the breasts, or other signs of pregnancy when they first start taking the pill. This is due to the hormones that enter the woman's body. The most serious problems are related to blood clots in the heart, lungs, or brain. Health-related side effects of taking the pill are rare. Other Methods of Birth Control The condom (also called "prophylactic," rubber, or sheath) is a narrow rubber or latex bag that the man wears on his penis while having sex. Usually, it works in preventing pregnancy. It also helps prevent the spread of venereal diseases, but it is not a complete safeguard. The diaphragm is a shallow cup made of soft rubber that a woman wears in her vagina while having sexual intercourse. It should be left inside her (the woman) for at least six hours afterward. It should be used together with a contraceptive cream or jelly. Check the diaphragm regularly for holes and get a new one each year. This is not an expensive method. The contraceptive foam comes in a tube or can. The woman puts it inside her vagina with a special applicator. The intrauterine device (IUD) is a plastic (or metal) object that a specially-trained health worker or midwife places inside the womb. The IUD prevents pregnancy while it is in the womb. It can cause pain, discomfort, and some serious problems. This is the simplest and most economical method. Withdrawal or pulling out (coitus interruptus) is a method in which the man pulls his penis out of the woman before the sperm comes out. This is disturbing to the couple and does not always work, because some sperm cells escape or often leak out ahead of time, which can cause pregnancy. Method for Those Who Never Want To Have More Children Injections There are special injections to prevent pregnancy, and Depo-Provera is one. An injection is usually given every three months to a woman. Side effects and precautions are similar to those of birth control pills. Home Methods for Preventing Pregnancy The Sponge Method a. Mix 2 tablespoons of vinegar with 5% acidity of water or 1 teaspoon of lemon juice in 1 cup of water, or 1 spoon of salt in 4 spoons of water. b. Wet the sponge with one of these liquids. c. Push the wet sponge deep into the vagina an hour before having sex. d. Leave the sponge in place for at least six hours after sex before removing it. Breast Feeding Breastfeeding reduces the likelihood of pregnancy, especially when breast milk is the only food the baby receives. The chance of pregnancy increases after four to six months when the baby starts eating other foods. The Rhythm (Calendar) Method The Rhythm Method involves tracking the menstrual cycle to avoid sex during the fertile days. It is not very reliable. The example given shows a calendar for May, where the period starts on the 5th, and the fertile days are from the 11th to the 18th. Example Calendar: May Sun Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat 1 2 3 4 5* 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 During these eight "fertile days," women should not have sexual relations.

Here's the text from the image you provided: Seven Simple Guidelines for Eating Well (Dietary Guidelines for Americans, USDA, 1990) These guidelines can be equally effective to all: Eat a variety of foods, include a daily selection of: Foods rich in vitamins and minerals whole-grain and enriched bread, cereals, and grain products vegetables fruits milk, cheese, and yogurt meat, poultry, fish, eggs, dried beans, peas, and tofu Maintain a healthy weight. Choose a diet low in fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol. A high-fat diet increases the risk of heart disease and other health issues. Eat plenty of vegetables, fruits, and grain products. Complex carbohydrates and fruits pack the most nutrient per calorie. Use sugar only in moderation. Sugar has little, if any, vitamins, minerals, or fibers. Use salt and sodium only in moderation. Sodium increases blood pressure. If you drink alcohol, do it in moderation. Alcohol is high in calories, and has no nutrients. Sickness caused by not eating well Good food is needed for a person to grow normally, work well, and stay healthy. Many common sicknesses come from not eating enough of the foods the body needs. To eat right means to eat enough, but it also means to eat a balanced diet. To be healthy, a person has to eat meat, vegetables, fruits, and other items from the food groups just described. A person, who is weak or sick because he/she does not eat the right foods, or does not eat enough, is said to be poorly nourished or malnourished. He/She suffers from malnutrition. Poor nutrition is the most common cause of health problems: In children Failure of a child to grow or gain weight normally Slowness in walking, talking, or thinking Swollen bellies, thin arms, and legs Sadness, lack of energy Swelling of feet, face, and hands Thinning or loss of hair, or less color or shine Dryness of eyes, blindness In anyone Weakness and fatigue Loss of appetite Anemia Sores in the corners of the mouth "Burning" sensation or numbness of the feet I hope this helps!

Vitamins are essential for our bodies to grow and develop normally, and to work properly. Minerals are needed for making blood, bones, and teeth healthy. Foods rich in vitamins and minerals: Meat Fish (fish liver oil for vitamins A and D) Chicken Cheese Eggs Milk Vegetables Fruits Cereals Seaweeds (for iodine) I hope this helps! If you need more details or have any other questions, feel free to ask. Good luck with your studies! this too Certainly! Here's the text from the image you provided: Eating Well: A Basic Plan Eat a variety of food every day. Eat more from the breads and cereals, and fruit and vegetable groups than from the other food groups. Breads, Cereals, and Starches Contrary to popular belief, bread, potatoes, rice, and pasta are not fattening. These starchy foods are actually good for you. Starches are carbohydrates which have less than half the calories per gram as fat. Unprocessed starches (whole grains, vegetables) also contain large amounts of vitamins, minerals, fiber, and water. Starchy foods are fattening only when fat has been added to them. To keep a healthy diet, try non-fat yogurt or salsa on baked potatoes and use fresh vegetables and tomato sauces on pasta. Fruits and Vegetables Fresh fruits and vegetables are good for you. They provide vitamins, minerals, and fiber and are naturally low in fat. Many fruits and vegetables contain a lot of vitamins A (beta carotene) and C, especially oranges and other citrus fruits, broccoli, sweet potatoes, winter squash, carrots, spinach, and other leafy greens. As a result, a diet that includes a lot of fruits and vegetables helps protect you against heart disease and cancer. Fruits and vegetables are most nutritious when eaten fresh and raw or lightly cooked. When cooking vegetables, steam and microwave them to retain more of their vitamins. Fiber Fiber has no vitamins and minerals, yet it is important in maintaining one’s good health. There are two types of fiber. Insoluble fiber in whole-grain products provides bulk for your diet. Together with fluids, fiber stimulates the colon to keep waste moving out of the bowels. Without fiber, waste moves slowly, increasing your risk for constipation, colon and bowel cancer, and diverticulosis. Soluble fiber found in fruits, beans, peas, other legumes, and oats helps lower cholesterol, reducing your risk of heart disease. The fiber in legumes can also help regulate blood glucose and cholesterol levels. If your bowel movement is soft and easy to pass, you probably have high fiber consumption. If they are hard and difficult to pass, more fiber and water intake can help. To increase fiber in your diet: Eat at least five servings of fruits and vegetables a day. Eat fruits with edible skins and seeds: berries, apples, and pineapples. Eat more of stems of kangkong and camote tops. Good luck with your studies! If you need any more details or assistance, just let me know. this too Sure thing! Here's the text from the image you provided: The Mucus Method This is a variation of the rhythm method that is espoused by some religious groups. It works fairly well for some people. It is not considered to be very effective but it costs nothing to practice it every day. During her period, the woman should take a little mucus from her vagina with a clean finger. Then, she has to examine the mucus by making it stretch between her thumb and forefinger. a. When the mucus is sticky like paste— not slippery or slimy—the woman cannot become pregnant and can continue to have sexual relations. b. When the mucus begins to get slippery or slimy, like raw egg white, or if it stretches between her fingers, she may become pregnant if she has sexual relations. Thus, she should not have sex when the mucus is slippery or stretchable. Nutrition Education Nutrition is defined as all the interactions between food and a living organism. It involves physiological and biochemical processes, and a myriad of psychological, social, economic, and technological factors. A nutrient is a substance in food that is used by the body for normal growth, reproduction, and maintenance of health. Nutrients are the basic materials from which the body is formed or developed, and by which it is fueled and regulated. Deciding which foods are the most beneficial to eat is a challenge. An individual requires close to 50 specific substances that must be taken into the body and in sufficient quantities to meet the body's needs. These materials are the nutrients which are grouped into six classes: water, carbohydrates, lipids (fats), proteins, vitamins, and minerals. Foods our Bodies Need to Stay Healthy Body-Building Foods or Proteins Proteins are body-building foods. They are necessary for proper growth, maintenance, and development of the brain, muscles, and other parts of the body. Foods High in Protein: Meat Chicken Eggs Soy beans Seafood Fish Cheese I hope this helps! If you need any more details or assistance, just let me know. Good luck with your studies! this too Sure thing! Here's the text from the image you provided: 2. Switch to whole-grain and whole-wheat breads, pasta, and cereals. Wheat flour simply means white flour, from which the fiber has been removed. Eat more cooked dried beans, peas, and lentils. Popcorn is a good high-fiber snack. However, avoid it if served with added oil, butter, and salt. ➡️ Water One easy way to improve your diet is to drink more water. Active people need two quarts of water a day. People who exercise regularly need even more water. If you drink other fluids, you can get by with less, but plain water is best. ➡️ Sugar What’s wrong with sugar? It comes from a vegetable (sugar beets or sugar cane) which tastes good. It is relatively cheap, fat-free, and is even a carbohydrate. From a health point of view, the biggest problem with sugar is that it is stripped of all vitamins, minerals, and fiber during the refining process. What is left are crystals of pure sugar with high calories. In moderation, sugar does little harm. However, if too much of your calories come from sugar, you will either gain weight or not get enough of the other nutrients you need. Sugar also contributes to cavities. Be aware of hidden sugars in flavored, canned, and other processed foods. Check the label for words that end in “-ose,” like dextrose, fructose, sucrose, lactose, and maltose, which are forms of sugar. Corn syrup is another common form of sugar. Limit foods that list sugar among the first few ingredients. Look for breakfast cereals that have six grams or less of added sugar per serving. You can reduce the sugar in home-made baked goods by up to one-half without affecting the texture of food. Eat a sweet piece of fruit instead of a sugary dessert. All sugars are basically alike. Honey and brown or raw sugar have no advantage over other sugars. ➡️ Fats in Foods Fat, butter, lard, cream, oil margarine, mayonnaise, and grease in foods account for 37 percent of the calories in the average diet. Fat has more than twice as many calories per gram as carbohydrates or protein. How much fat is too much? The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend that a total calorie intake must contain less than 30 percent fat. Changing from a diet that contains 37 percent of fat to one that contains...

Here's the text from the image you provided: 30 percent fat may slow the development of heart disease, reduce the risk of cancer, and improve your overall diet. Many scientists suggest that a 30-percent fat diet is still too high for a healthy heart. However, a 20-percent fat diet will slow heart disease even more. There is some evidence that a 10-percent fat diet is difficult to maintain. Based on your risks for heart disease, you may wish to set a goal for how much fat to include in your diet. A nutritionist can help you with a menu plan to meet your goal. 15 Simple Ways to Reduce Fat When eating meat: Eat more poultry and fish. Choose lean cuts of meat. Remove all visible fat before cooking. Poultry skin may be removed either before or after cooking. Broil or bake instead of frying. Reduce serving sizes to two or three ounces and don’t take second servings. Replace some meat with cooked dry beans and grains. Use skim milk or 1% low-fat milk. Choose low-fat, skim milk cheese. Substitute low-fat or nonfat cottage cheese and yogurt for cream and sour cream. When cooking: Steam vegetables, sauté with one teaspoon of oil or less, or cook with wine or defatted broth. Use non-stick pans or add oil to a preheated pan. Less oil goes further this way. Flavor vegetables with herbs and spices instead of butter and sauces, or try Butter Buds or Molly McButter. Experiment using less oil than what the recipe demands. You may need to increase other liquids. In general: Avoid crackers, chips, cookies, and margarine made with hydrogenated oil, coconut oil, or cocoa butter. Eat plenty of carbohydrates to fill you up (fruits, vegetables, grains, breads, pasta, etc.). Let salads go naked and modestly dressed with lemon juice, or use fat-free dressings and mayonnaise. HIV Infection and AIDS AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome) is caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). HIV destroys the immune system, which makes it impossible for the body to fight off diseases or even minor illnesses. AIDS is the last phase in the HIV disease when the body is unable to fight a disease or infection. A person is said to be HIV-positive if antibodies to the virus are detected in his/her blood. It may take up to six months after infection for antibodies to appear. Someone who is HIV-positive may appear to be healthy for ten years or longer before symptoms of AIDS develop. I hope this helps! If you need any more details or assistance, just let me know. Good luck with your studies! this too Of course! Here's the text from the image you provided: HIV is not spread by getting bitten by mosquitoes, from toilet seats, being coughed on by an infected person, or having casual contact with someone who is HIV-positive or who has AIDS. HIV is spread only when blood, semen, or vaginal fluids from an infected person enters someone else's body. The specific behaviors that spread HIV include: a. Sharing injection needles and syringes with someone who is HIV-positive. b. Unprotected (without a condom) rectal entry intercourse (anal sex) with someone who is HIV-positive. c. Unprotected vaginal or oral sexual activity with someone who is HIV-positive. d. Babies born to or breastfed by women who are HIV-positive are also at high risk of contracting the virus. Being touched, hugged, or lightly kissed by someone who is HIV-positive will not transfer the virus to you. As long as you practice the prevention behaviors, you have virtually no risk of contracting the virus. However, if your behavior puts you at risk for HIV infection, a blood test should be done six months after the risky behavior. Early diagnosis and treatment of HIV is important even before symptoms develop. A simple, confidential blood test, available at a health department, can determine if you are HIV-positive. ➡️ Symptoms of HIV Infection and AIDS The early signs of HIV infection are like symptoms that won’t go away. Common symptoms are: a. Rapid unexplained weight loss b. Persistent unexplained fever and night sweats c. Persistent diarrhea d. Persistent severe fatigue e. Swelling of glands in neck, armpits, or groin As the immune system deteriorates, a variety of other symptoms may appear, including: a. Unusual sores on the skin, in the mouth; white patches in the mouth b. Increased outbreaks of cold sores c. Unexplained shortness of breath and dry cough d. Severe numbness or pain in the hands and feet e. Personality change or mental deterioration f. Unusual cancers and infections These symptoms are usually caused by many illnesses other than HIV infection or AIDS. However, if any symptom develops or persists without a good explanation, especially if your behavior puts you at risk of HIV infection, call your doctor. I hope this helps!

Good luck with your studying! this too Absolutely, I'll make sure to include everything from the image you provided: Prevention Only monogamy between uninfected partners or sexual abstinence can completely eliminate the risk of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases. The following actions will reduce your risk: If you are beginning a sexual relationship, take time before having sex to talk about HIV and other STDs. Find out if your partner has been exposed to or infected by STDs, or if your partner's behavior puts him or her at risk for HIV infection. Remember that it is possible to be infected without knowing it. Use condoms with any new partner until you are certain that the person does not have any sexually transmitted diseases and you are certain that neither of you will have unprotected sexual contact with anyone else while your relationship lasts. Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) The Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) or Venereal Diseases (VD) are infections passed from person to person through sexual intercourse or genital contact. Chlamydia, genital herpes, genital warts, gonorrhea, hepatitis B, and syphilis are among the most common STDs. AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome) is the most virulent and deadly of all STDs. Chlamydia is a bacterial infection that affects millions of men and women. Its symptoms occur two to four weeks after exposure. In women, symptoms may include vaginal discharge or irregular menstrual bleeding, painful urination, genital itching, or lower abdominal pain. In men, there may be a penile discharge and painful urination. Chlamydia is easily treated with antibiotics. If undetected and untreated, it may cause pelvic inflammatory disease in women, which may lead to sterility. Genital herpes is caused by the herpes simplex virus which also causes cold sores and fever blisters. It is easily spread through sexual and other direct skin contact. Symptoms occur 2 to 30 days after contact with an infected person. There is no known cure for herpes. Once infected, you may have recurrent outbreaks, which are usually shorter and less severe than the first one. Itching, burning, or tingling may occur at the place where the sores will later appear. Medication is available that helps reduce the frequency and severity of recurrent outbreak. Genital warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV) which is spread by sexual contact. They appear as small fleshy bumps or flat white patches on the labia (the lips around the vagina), inside the vagina, on the penis or scrotum, or around the anus. Of most concern to women is the link between HPV and cervical cancer. The virus can be detected by a pap smear. Warts developed on the cervix can be removed by surgery. In some cases, it may recur. Gonorrhea, also known as clap, drip, or GC, is a bacterial infection spread through sexual contact. The symptoms include painful urination, discharge, and, in women, pelvic pain. If untreated, gonorrhea can lead to serious and permanent health problems such as infertility. I hope this helps! If you need any more details or assistance, just let me know.

Hepatitis B is a viral infection spread through sexual contact or contact with infected blood. An infected pregnant woman can also transmit the virus to her baby. Symptoms, including vomiting, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, and yellow tint to the eyes and skin (jaundice), appear two to five months after exposure. Long-term effects of the disease include life-threatening liver damage. A vaccine against hepatitis B is recommended for all infants and people in certain high-risk groups. 6. Syphilis is a bacterial infection spread through sexual contact or sharing of contaminated needles. Symptoms appear two weeks to one month after contact. The first symptom is a chancre, a small red blister, ulcer, or sore that appears on the genitals or rectal area, which may go unnoticed. The lymph nodes in the groin may also swell. Symptoms of the second phase include skin rash, patchy hair loss, fever, swollen lymph glands, and flu-like symptoms which may be confused with other illnesses. Syphilis can be treated with antibiotics. If untreated, it will cause serious problems and premature death. 7. Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) affects only women, although they may get the disease as the result of infections or diseases that men have. This is rather a complication disease resulting from other diseases, including sexually transmitted ones. PID is a kind of infection that gets into a woman’s fallopian tubes, ovaries, uterus, or some combination of those organs. It results in infertility or causes fertilized eggs to implant in the wall of fallopian tubes rather than in the uterus. This tubal or ectopic pregnancy destroys the fallopian tubes. Various antibiotics can combat the condition. A woman afflicted with PID should make sure her partner is tested and gets complete treatment. Women who use birth control pills seem to be less likely to get PID since pills create a thick mucus in the cervix that keeps the sperm and the bacteria from entering. Prevention Preventing a sexually transmitted disease is easier than treating an infection once it occurs. Only monogamy between uninfected partners or sexual abstinence completely eliminates the risk. Avoid sexual contact while you are or your partner is being treated for a sexually transmitted disease. Drug Abuse Education and Prevention Drug abuse is a problem which adversely affects our most precious resource—the Filipino youth. Hence, the Philippine government, through the Dangerous Drugs Board, has taken the initiative to prevent this persistent social epidemic that destroys the lives and aspirations of many young people.

Unusual flare-ups or outbreaks of temper. Withdrawal from responsibility. Change in overall attitude. Deterioration of physical appearance and grooming. Furtive behavior regarding actions. Wearing of sunglasses to hide dilated or constricted pupils. Association with drug abusers. Unusual borrowing of money from parents or friends. Stealing small items. Definition of Terms about Drug Abuse: Drug: Any chemical substance which brings about physiological, emotional, or behavioral changes in a person. Drug abuse: The use of a chemical substance, licit or illicit, which results in an individual's physical, mental, emotional, and social impairment. Drug addiction: A person's dependence on a drug, commonly associated with narcotics. Drug addiction is now termed "drug dependence." Kinds of Commonly-abused Drug Substances: Hallucinogens (also called psychedelic drugs): Drugs capable of provoking changes or cessation of thinking, self-awareness, and emotion. People under the influence of these seem distant, may talk to invisible people or objects, and experience a "bad" or "high trip" feeling. They might act paranoid and catatonic, alternately scream, whisper, cry, or laugh. Popular hallucinogens include LSD, marijuana, PCP (angel dust), mescaline, and ecstasy. Stimulants (uppers or pep pills): Drugs that increase alertness, reduce hunger, and provide a feeling of well-being.
