Meth: Brain & Behavior equips viewers with an understanding of how meth changes the brain and, consequently, behavior. 3D animations of changes in the brain, accessible explanations, and personal accounts of use and recovery help viewers understand the complex effects of meth use on the brain. Meth users often come to believe that their lack of impulse control and decreased pleasure from ordinary life are permanent. From this video, users learn how to better cope with the stages of meth addiction and recovery by gaining an understanding of the biological underpinnings of the high, tolerance, craving, paranoia, aggression, anhedonia, and healing.
