What are Altered Physical and Emotional Reactions?
Altered physical and emotional reactions refer to changes in how a person responds to their environment or emotional stimuli. These changes can result from substance abuse, mental health disorders, or trauma, and may include heightened anxiety, irritability, or physical symptoms like increased heart rate.
In addiction treatment, individuals may experience altered reactions during withdrawal or recovery, and therapeutic interventions aim to help them regain emotional stability and respond to stress in healthier ways.
