How does heroin affect someone's emotional health?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Heroin: Heroin affects the central nervous system by depressing it. It depresses sensory nerves transmission & thus eases pain. It also depresses brain centers that control coughing & breathing. Initial euphoria is soon replaced by drowsiness, then confusion.
