Can Mental Disorders Caused By Methamphetamine Usage Be Managed By Withdrawing From It?
im 20 years old injecting meth. i started using at 13 almost on a daily basis since. i didnt start injecting up untill about 6 months ago. i feel i may have mental disorders due to my use such as change in personality, loss touch with reality, my inability to understand things and much more. will being sober for a great amount of time repair these effects?
