Things that make you think..

Self-medication is a term used to describe the use of drugs (including alcohol) or other self-soothing forms of behavior to treat untreated and often undiagnosed mental distress, stress and anxiety,[1] including mental illnesses and/or psychological trauma.[2][3] Self-medication is often seen as gaining personal independence from established medicine.
