Would somebody's addiction to a substance or drug go away if he/she gets amnesia? |
Would somebody's addiction to a substance or drug go away if he/she gets amnesia? some people inherit an addictive tendency ,so if the propensity for addiction is imprinted on some strand of dna , amnesia would probably help in the very short term, but the addiction would re surface at some point. great question...no idea I think the body would still have a withdrawl reaction but you wouldn't know what it was so eventually you'd prob not have the prob any more Good question. I shouldn't think so because addiction eventually becomes a physical need rather than an emotional habit, and even if the addict forgets, his body will remind him soon enough that a fix is due. Excellent Only if it were a psychological addiction. If it were a physical addition, then memory has very little to do with it. It depends on the addiction. Most drugs like alcohol and opiats cause physical addiction, so the addict won't lose it when he gets amnesia. But for other, non-psychical addictions, it could happen. For example, a friend of mine is always chewing her nails, they are so bitten that they are only half as long as normal, and she tried every imaginable kind of repelling substances on them but couldn't stop. It is obviously a mental addiction and maybe that kind will vanish with an amnesia, but I've never heard of such a case. |
