It is almost impossible to find a person in the world who has not been haunted by trauma since childhood. Nowadays, parents spend less and less time on a person’s future development and instead fixate on what the child looks like right now and what his habits and characteristics are. These factors, which have become traumatic, can be various life circumstances. These can include both accidental events and unconscious. The most popular awareness may attempt to make a child a specialist in an area in which his parents were unsuccessful (Linklater, 2014). This can include drawing, singing or ballet studio, and other additional activities after school. Over time, the child develops a rejection of such activities and develops a hatred of creativity. The unconscious ones do not depend on anything and can be spontaneous, not dependent on anyone. These cases may include witnessing a fatal accident. This can leave a deep imprint on the child’s psyche for many years, encouraging hatred of vehicles, for example.
To counteract the trauma, there are all kinds of therapies that focus on improving the moral state of the child. Of course, they cannot fully relieve the person from the suffering of the trauma, but in some cases, they can blunt the person’s sense of responsibility for something they did not do. These procedures can only temporarily help and relieve psychological pain. Still, trauma is not curable by any known means, and a solution to this problem has been sought for many years (Park et al., 2017). Despite this, it is necessary to continue to develop in this direction and look for other ways to resolve childhood traumas since they often block the perception of reality and prevent the child from developing correctly in the future.
At the same time, speaking addiction to psychotropic drugs can also aid in getting rid of childhood traumas. However, unlike meditative exercises, such drugs aggravate the problem in the future. Obviously, a person is not warned about this, and even knowing the risks, he continues to believe in the pills’ aiming possibilities, which causes addiction and dependence. Modern technologies tell us that the habit may be of different types, the most widespread of which is psychological. It becomes difficult for a person to live without the substance in the pills, but without the habit of taking them, which can affect their development in the future (Christopher & Kenny, 2013). The young population is not immune to this kind of activity and even the opposite, sharing their experiences, attracting more and more people to the side of the medication. This increases the social dependence on drugs and develops this industry.
There are few places or regions right now where teenagers haven’t tried medication for trauma related to psychology. Even in the area where I live, there is a certain number of such people, but all of them soon begin to regret what they have done. Many try to give up this harmful habit through meditation and classes related to spirituality. You can say they have had some success and share their positive experiences. Therefore, such cases should be publicized and spread because spiritual enrichment is not inferior to the use of psychotropic drugs. It is also essential to support people who are in such difficult circumstances. Despite the seeming simplicity of such an action, it helps a lot and makes you feel needed, that everything in the world is surmountable and that this person is required.
