Tolerance
Tolerance
Tolerance is when you need increasingly larger amounts of a substance to get the same effect. It happens as your brain adapts to the substance over repeated use.
Details
Tolerance is a phenomenon where repeated use of a substance causes the body to require greater amounts to achieve the same effect.
As the brain adapts to the substance, its response becomes dulled, which is why this occurs.
Once tolerance develops, usage tends to increase over time, raising significant health risks.
Tolerance can appear not only with drugs but also with alcohol, caffeine, and other substances.
If you notice tolerance developing, it is safest to reduce your use or speak with a professional — Mindy is here to help you think through your options.
