In psychology, a problem is described as a situation wherein one is required to accomplish a goal and the resolution is not clear. Consequently, a person finds it difficult to create steps to achieve the target goal. It is after the recognization of the source of the problem that it can be solved effectively.

Here we discuss about some management strategies for managing problems we face in our day to day life.

There are some set of strategies and communication skills which has been proven to work effectively for managing children’s problematic or challenging behaviors. There are called “Parenting skills”. Parenting skills can be applied by adults other than parents and these promote healthy interaction with children and a positive environment for them to grow.

Drug addiction, also called substance use disorder, is a disease that affects a person's brain and behavior and leads to an inability to control the use of a legal or illegal drug or medication. Substances such as alcohol, marijuana and nicotine also are considered drugs. When you're addicted, you may continue using the drug despite the harm it causes.

Drug addiction can start with experimental use of a recreational drug in social situations, and, for some people, the drug use becomes more frequent. For others, particularly with opioids, drug addiction begins with exposure to prescribed medications, or receiving medications from a friend or relative who has been prescribed the medication.

The risk of addiction and how fast you become addicted varies by drug. Some drugs, such as opioid painkillers, have a higher risk and cause addiction more quickly than others.

As time passes, you may need larger doses of the drug to get high. Soon you may need the drug just to feel good. As your drug use increases, you may find that it's increasingly difficult to go without the drug. Attempts to stop drug use may cause intense cravings and make you feel physically ill (withdrawal symptoms).

If you can identify that your substance use is becoming an addiction, seek help from a professional. There are several modes of treatment for drug addiction from medical support through psychotherapy to family support.
