Drug overdose is very harmful and is the cause of many deaths. There are two main causes of drug overdose. One cause is accidental by a child too young to know what they are doing, or an older person who has impaired mental abilites. The other major cause is a purposeful drug overdose by someone who is trying to harm themself.
Due to curiousity in young children, when medication is left within reach, they tend to grab it. Between the ages 6 months to 5 years, many kids put everything in their mouths. Therefore, the overdose of drugs in this age category are usually caused by medication getting left where it shouldn't be.
Purposeful drug overdose is usually found in the age category of teens or adults. Overdosing on drugs may be an attempt at suicide, or could stem from unknown underlying mental health conditions. What are your views on drug overdose?
My aunt has recently passed due to a 10 year span of drug overdosing. She went into a coma and finally passed the day after my birthday. She wasn't expected to live long. It all started because she was in a horrible car accident 10 years ago, and needed the prescrpition for her pain. She was soon addicted to the feeling and it ruined her life. My view is thatit is so dangerous, and her death is an eye opener for everyone who has ever thought about absuing drugs.
