Drug addiction is a chronic medical disorder that known as Cocaine Use Disorder (CUD). The purpose of writing this annotated bibliography is to critically examine the potential psychological, social, and physical harms associated with drug addiction, a growing public health concern that has become increasingly prevalent in contemporary society. The younger demographic is frequently linked to cocaine addiction. However, the aging population has made it an increasing issue. Impulsive decision-making that may have negative long-term effects is a hallmark of addiction. Andrea et al., suggested that the mechanism by which controlled, voluntary drug use develops into compulsive drug use is the change from flexible prefrontal cortical control to automatic reaction driven by the striatum circuitry. (p.32). The chemically structured drug cocaine also has an impact on several areas of the brain. This literature review investigates the effects of cocaine on the brain's decision-making process.
