Soft Drugs

 

Soft drugs are those substances which we often don't think of in terms of abuse or even use in most cases. Still, the fact remains that these many legally available substances have some rather drastic affect on mood, and hence, the mood disordered. I've provided some basic information and many good links where you can learn why these substances need to be carefully evaluated by the person who suffers from bipolar disorder. You may decide to continue to use them, but at least you will know how they affect the central nervous system and how they can occasionally be responsible for the drugs we take for our illness not working the way we had hoped they would. As they say, "Forewarned is forearmed."
