The Effects of Growing Up with an Alcoholic Parent
When a parent or primary caregiver has an alcohol use problem, children in the home can experience a wide range of cognitive, behavioral, psychosocial, and emotional consequences. Many of these children are regularly exposed to chaos, uncertainty, disorganization, emotional and/or physical neglect, instability, arguments, marital problems, and more. As a result, these kids may experience or exhibit anxiety, depression, antisocial behavior, relationship difficulties, behavioral issues, etc. , In fact, they’re 4 times more likely than other children to develop an AUD.

Opioids are a class of natural, semi-synthetic, and synthetic drugs. These include both prescription medications used to treat pain and illegal drugs like he**in.
Opioids are addictive. Use of opioids, either by themselves or in combination with other drugs, is a major driver of the drug overdose crisis in the United States. The vast majority of overdose deaths in recent years involved illicitly manufactured fentanyl and other potent synthetic opioids. These may be added to other drugs without a buyer knowing it.
NIDA plays a leading role in the National Institutes of Health HEAL (Helping to End Addiction Long-term®) Initiative, an effort to develop new scientific solutions to the overdose epidemic, including opioid and stimulant use disorders, and the crisis of chronic pain.

Many people don't understand why or how other people become addicted to drugs. They may mistakenly think that those who use drugs lack moral principles or willpower and that they could stop their drug use simply by choosing to. In reality, drug addiction is a complex disease, and quitting usually takes more than good intentions or a strong will. Drugs change the brain in ways that make quitting hard, even for those who want to. Fortunately, researchers know more than ever about how drugs affect the brain and have found treatments that can help people recover from drug addiction and lead productive lives.

This January and throughout the year, join NBDPN to raise awareness about birth defects. Let’s help improve the health of people living with these conditions and widen the available network of support. This is the time to shine a light on various efforts within the birth defects community that:
-Promote healthy pregnancies
-Highlight ways to reduce the risk of birth defects
-Share resources/support services available within communities across the nation
Advocate for health of children and families living with birth defects across the lifespan
As the National Birth Defects Prevention Network, we fully acknowledge that not all birth defects can be prevented.* Yet, we also know that there are certain behaviors before and during pregnancy that may be linked to an increased risk for birth defects. We strive to promote healthy choices that increase the chances of having a healthy pregnancy, and in turn, reduce the risks of pregnancy complications and/or birth defects.

The holiday season often brings a mix of joy and stress, but for millions, it can trigger feelings of sadness, loneliness, and isolation.
An estimated 14% of adults experience “holiday blues” each year, with symptoms ranging from irritability and guilt to nostalgia and profound sadness.
These feelings are often heightened by the pressure to appear happy, social, and generous while navigating complex family dynamics or memories of past traumas.
For those struggling with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), depression, or Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD), the season can feel overwhelming.
Whether you’re feeling isolation, grief, or the weight of family expectations, You Are Not Alone we can help you find light in the darkness.

Antidepressants, opioids, and other prescription drugs may cause impairment.
