Concept in Definition ABC

It is known as excess to any type of quantity of something, that can be taken or done and that goes beyond the limit of what is considered normal. The excess, of course, flaunts a connotation negative and is associated with situations or practices that first become regular and then already daily, but as I just told you, generally, they are linked to issues that are not beneficial for the health of beings humans.

For example, some of the most common excesses in which people relapse are related to food, physical activity and all those things that we commonly know as vices, such as alcoholic beverages, drugs, some medicines and cigarettes, to name some of the most harmful and which the inhabitants of this area suffer the most world.

Those people who observe in their conduct a recurring tendency towards the devouring of large quantities of foodOutside of what is considered normal, surely, in the short or medium term, they will be suffering from obesity, one of the excesses that most affect people's health today.

Meanwhile, another of the great cuckoos of excess that is experienced and observed in our days as well, but which has been one of the most common as well as Obesity, for centuries and centuries, is the excess in which many people incur when it comes to drinking and is known as the disease of the alcoholism.

This consists of a consumption excessive alcohol that lasts for a long time and that of course, like any other drug, causes serious dependence.

It is very important to verify that incurring in excesses of these characteristics is not a phenomenon that is universal for all people. Indeed, compulsive behaviors directed to the consumption of alcoholic beverages, tobacco in all its forms, drugs legal (like many psychotropic drugs) or illegal and even food, in all cases obey the same problem underlying. It has been shown that certain areas of the brain act through the so-called "reward circuits", which constitute a true scientific substrate for excesses. In this sense, the incorporation of a substance (the nicotine of the cigarette, the alcohol of the drinks, the hormones released by the tube digestive system after a palatable meal) motivates the release of dopamine, a product used by neurons to communicate with each other they. The formidable sensation of well-being that this unleashes in people almost "forces" to repeat the act over and over again, generally with increasing "doses" of the chosen stimulus. As these circuits are different in each individual, a single treatment of these excesses is not possible; on the contrary, the approach to be provided is personalized in all cases.

For the same reason, other excesses (the excessive pleasure of adrenaline in many high-risk sports, addiction to gambling or racing) are based on brain alterations at the level of biochemical. In very simple and understandable words, the excesses originate in those circumstances in which the biology of our brain exceeds the will of each person; Consequently, the excesses observed in an individual will differ in quantity and in quality to those who experience another subject of another sex, age, cultural context or moment of her life.

As is clear after this exposition, the excess (except in the love that one can profess for those around him or his neighbor) it will always be bad; Therefore, if you suffer from it in some of these situations that we mention, it will be necessary and necessary to consult with a medical professional or from the field of psychology to treat it and be able, at some point, to overcome it. There are many alternative approaches and solutions that, in all cases, are customized for the individual needs of each affected patient.
