   I believe that incidence of drug overdose has indeed become prevalent nowadays. When people
are faced with difficult problems, I think that they can no longer bear the problem and that is why they get
into drugs. That’s why if you are a psychologist, you should treat your patients in a way that helps them
to understand their problems and ways to deal with time. Yeah I know it can be very difficult but hey,
that’s what you specialized in, right?
