Is It Possible Not to Have a Physical Addiction to Drugs?
Question by Boy: Is it possible not to have a physical addiction to drugs?
As far as I know, the vasopressin receptor gene could be involved in human drug addiction. If this gene were to be mutated to a point where is does not function as it should, does that mean some people may not be able to become physically addicted to drugs like nicotine or alcohol?
Best answer:
Answer by David
Theoretically, but then you’d have other problems because vasopressin has other functions as well. You’d have a lot of trouble maintaining homeostasis without it, which is partially how drug addiction works: your body has altered its definition of homeostasis to require the drug in question.

Seeking Help for My Alcoholic / Depressed Sister in Rhode Island?
Question by Veridian: Seeking help for my alcoholic / depressed sister in Rhode Island?
Hello, my sister has a problem with alcohol and she also seems very depressed. She has agreed to let me find her some help, but I don’t know where to start looking. What sort of place should I look into? She does not have her own doctor. She has never sought help before. Should I just find a psychiatrist? Thank you for your advice.
Everytime I see her, she is either drunk or high (she smokes pot) and always has these emotional crying spells and cannot explain them. Just today she was crying for apparently no reason, so she said, and could not stop so I finally said that I think it’s time that she talked to someone and it just seemed like that’s what she wanted to hear.
