Answer by psy1on1
Roughly translated, the question is, Why do you think that you need drugs? Identify = list/name. Psychological constructs = thought processes. Substance abuse = drug addiction. When you take a chemical for a period of time (the stronger the chemical – the shorter the time), your body becomes used to it being in your system and when it’s not, your body craves it. Name the thought processes of drug addiction.
