Drug Use Self-Diagnosis Questionnaire
Many people become addicted to drug use before realizing that they are forming an addiction.
Most of them get into drugs being coaxed by their friends, when they are quite naïve and do not
realize the trouble they are exposing themselves to and by the time they realize it is too late.
Nowadays there are many drug rehabilitation centers that aim at helping drug addicts to give up
their addiction. But the question is how you would be able to understand whether you are
turning into a drug addict or not. The best way to check this is by answering a questionnaire that
would help you to self diagnosis whether you are turning into an addict or not.
Start by asking yourself the following questions that would help you to make a diagnosis on your
own whether you are really a drug addict or not.
Do you try to use prescription drugs even when you do not need them any more?
When under pressure do you take to drugs to relieve yourself?
Have you increased the quantity of drugs with time?
Do you have trouble remembering things?
Do you tend to get irritated when you are not able to get drugs?
Whether you try to find reasons to get more drugs for yourself?
Has drugs started to take a toil on your career as well?
Do you find trouble giving up on your drug use?
Do you experience passing out after you use drugs?
Has your indulgence in drugs caused you to lose most of your friends?
Whether you are not able to take care of your family the way you did before using drugs?
Whether you are experiencing health problems due to drug use?
Whether you are unable to control your intake of drugs even though you know they are harming
you?
While answering the above questions you should try to answer either in ‘yes’ or ‘no’. You should
keep a count of how many questions you answer in ‘yes’ and how many of them you answer in
‘no’. If you answer to more than three questions in the affirmative, it means that you are
seriously in need of consultation and need to cut down your drug use as soon as you can. While
answering these questions you need to be true to yourself and answer the questions truly, as
these questions are meant to help you in diagnosing your problem.
Once you have diagnosed the extent of your drug use, consult a doctor or addiction proffessional who will be able to guide you in finding the appropriate help.

It is seen that the people who consume too much food tend to become overweight and are not able to go on with their normal lives.
