People overuse antibiotics because mentally they feel better but not doing anything for them physically and also sometimes people are not taking the right dose. Donald Berwick, a doctor and the CEO of the Institute for Healthcare Improvement discovered informed “conventional wisdom in psychology, in fact, is that our brains have two independent systems at work at all times. First, there's what we call the emotional side. It's the part of you that is instinctive, that feels pain and pleasure. Second, there's the rational side, also known as the reflective or conscious system”. The reflective or conscious system is the part of our brain that wants us to feel better fast. So sometimes people will take as much medicine as they need to until they’re mentally feel better not caring the damage the could be doing physically to their body by doing this. “Over-the-counter medicines are not subject to the rigorous testing that prescription drugs are. So you might be taking to much/too little or not be talking the right stuff at all” stated by Dr. Cara Natterson. By doing this it could harms one health.

After a while or bodies start to resistance antibiotics. According to Martin Khor, executive director of South Centre “So you have a gene, in this enzyme, which is an antibiotic resistance gene whose specialty is to strengthen the bacteria so that it will be resistant to antibiotics”. In genes or viruses “mutations randomly occur in nature to the virus” according to Cleveland clinic. So the virus is always changing meaning it will get stronger and stronger meaning the antibiotics that we are currently using won’t be any good because the genes mutation make us resistance to the antibiotic.

Antibiotic resistance has an effects our animals that we consume which is a part of our food source for most Americans.“From the World Health Organization, which has described antibiotic resistance as one of the biggest threats to global food security” stated from Allan Adamson Tech Times. This happens because the animal take the antibiotic which has an effect on people and their resistance to antibiotics. The Real News states “when animals take the antibiotics they build a resistance to them and then when humans eat them we are also building the resistance because the antibiotic is in the meat”. Other than it affecting our food it affects people's mental health.From the cleveland clinic “Antibiotics don't work for the common flu. But people believe mentally they feel better after when they take it”.
