Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rather than being engaged in formal treatment,67% of a study's participants reported the use of illicit substances,mainly marijuana.The primary purpose for this substance use is to aid in numbing the victim from the effects of intrusive thoughts and to allow victims to self-medicate for the treatment of insomnia and irritability.Although some individuals will use cigarette smoking,sexual promiscuity,and eating as coping mechanisms,they do not appear to have the affects that marijuana has on managing the symptoms of anxiety and stress.
