Opioids Addiction in Illinois

Opioid abuse and addiction have been a nationwide epidemic as pharmaceutical companies began marketing pain medication for widespread use. As people became addicted they often switched from prescription pain medications to cheaper alternatives like heroin. The abuse and addiction rates then spiraled. In Illinois opioid addiction climbed to alarming highs, and so did emergency room visits and overdoses. In 2013, synthetic opioids accounted for 583 deaths. By 2020 that number increased by 80% to 1,051. In fact, in 2020 there were 2,944 overdose deaths related to any opioid. That's more than 2.3 times the amount of car crash deaths and 2.2 times the amount of homicide deaths. There are also many accredited treatment facilities in Illinois that can help people overcome opioid dependence.

Treatment of orthorexia Onychophagia Oneiophrenia Panic attacks Panic attacks typically begin suddenly, without warning. They can strike at any time — when you're driving a car, at the mall, sound asleep or in the middle of a business meeting. You may have occasional panic attacks, or they may occur frequently. Panic attacks have many variations, but symptoms usually peak within minutes. You may feel fatigued and worn out after a panic attack subsides. Panic attacks typically include some of these signs or symptoms: Sense of impending doom or danger Fear of loss of control or death Rapid, pounding heart rate Sweating Trembling or shaking Shortness of breath or tightness in your throat Chills Hot flashes Nausea Abdominal cramping Chest pain Headache Dizziness, lightheadedness or faintness Numbness or tingling sensation Feeling of unreality or detachment Symptoms of panic disorder Causes of panic attacks A panic attack is a sudden episode of intense fear that triggers severe physical reactions when there is no real danger or apparent cause. Panic attacks can be very frightening. When panic attacks occur, you might think you're losing control, having a heart attack or even dying. Many people have just one or two panic attacks in their lifetimes, and the problem goes away, perhaps when a stressful situation ends. But if you've had recurrent, unexpected panic attacks and spent long periods in constant fear of another attack, you may have a condition called panic disorder. Although panic attacks themselves aren't life-threatening, they can be frightening and significantly affect your quality of life. But treatment can be very effective.Complications of panic disorder Depression
