A mental illness may be possibly caused by several factors such as genetics, environment, and chemical imbalances in the brain. It is called mental simply because usually, the illness does not involve much anatomical dysfunctions. Usually, the disorder involves a thinking that something is wrong when physically, it seemed as if nothing is wrong. The symptoms are more internal rather than external.

It is an illness, probably a mental illness that entails compulsivity when it comes to sexual activities and having numerous partners, and being fond of casual sex and self gratification. Sex and love addiction is a progressive illness which cannot be cured but which, like many illnesses, can be arrested. It may take several forms—which includes, but not limited to a compulsive need for sex, excessive dependency on one or many people, or a chronic preoccupation with romance, intrigue, or fantasy, an obsessive compulsive pattern, either sexual or emotional, or both, exists in which relationships or sexual activities have become increasingly destructive to career, family and sense of self-respect.

The chemical cocaine hydrochloride is commonly known as crack. Some users chemically process cocaine in order to eliminate the hydrochloride. This process is called “freebasing” and makes the drug more stronger. “Crack” is a solid form of freebased cocaine. It is named “crack” because it snaps and cracks when heated and smoked. Since crack is a prepared form of freebased cocaine, the user does not have to buy the equipment associated with freebasing. Crack is most often packaged in vials and sold in small quantities, usually 300-500mg or enough for two to three inhalations.
