Answer (1)
Feeling that one's life is meaningless is a critical factor that can lead to problematic substance use, as individuals may seek substances to escape their feelings of emptiness. While other factors like strict parenting and dopamine levels can contribute, they are not as directly linked. Activating a sense of community and purpose through practices like religion may provide protective effects against substance use. ;
