Retardation

Retardation is often associated with mental retardation. As we all know, in the world of addiction, the disease affects the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. It may not be physically visible, but the other three are severely affected. Often it is said that a mental age addicts will stop at the age when he started using drugs.
Say an addict started taking drugs when he was 16 years old. So the mental age is 16 years, although when he entered into the recovery he has aged 26 years. You could say he is mentally retarded, emotionally, and spiritually. Indeed, the situation is not like the state of the patient down syndrome, mental retardation were more clearly visible, even physically, because the physical characteristics of the Mongolian face. But still it made him unable to function as human beings.
Retardation experienced by addicts is the inability to think and make decisions like normal people his age. Emotional maturity is also retarded, he is not as mature as the people around them (who are not addicted) to control his emotions. Especially spiritual state. And we really do not talk about religion. Spiritual here more meaningful relationship with himself, with the people around him, and whatever he believes.
Mental retardation. The mindset of an addict often does not reflect the actual age. This is because addicts often thought centered on the pleasure principle. He was afraid of the outstanding liability. He was also unable to make a commitment. He can not make a responsible commitment.
Emotional retardation. Addicts are not able to control his emotions. He will tend to be extreme in feel and express their feelings and emotions, not to mention the mood swings like a roller coaster experienced by addicts. He does not have the emotional stability that is owned by people his age.
Spiritual retardation. The relationship between addicts with himself, or with others, especially with a Higher Power (whatever it is) can be said to be almost non-existent, or if there is not at all healthy.
Retardation in infants junkie also frequently found. This is because it is also affected by the influence of drugs consumed by the mother.
