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.

It is a well-known fact that driving under the influence of alcohol is illegal, but not everyone realizes the dangers of driving after taking drugs — including prescription and over-the-counter medications. Many legally obtained and commonly used OTC and prescription drugs can affect a user’s ability to drive safely.

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

Cigarette smoke contains more than 7,000 chemicals. At least 69 of these chemicals can cause cancer. Other chemicals can interfere with the body's ability to fight cancer.
Smoking can also weaken the body's immune system. This makes it harder for the body to kill cancer cells. When this happens, cancer cells can grow and spread.
