Possible indications of drug use may include altered mood or behaviour, changes to appetite, energy
levels, or issues managing work, responsibilities, finances and relationships. However, these behaviours
are not necessarily indications of drug use. Your loved one or friend may be stressed, experiencing
problems with school or work, or having difficulties sleeping. Teenagers, in particular, are likely to
display some of these behaviours, as a result of the changes they experience during adolescence.
