    Answer:Iron deficiency syndrome

    Explanation:A study by clinical psychologist proposes that, like a strong cup of coffee, ice may give those with insufficient iron a much-needed mental boost. Fatigue is the most effect that one experiences as common symptom of iron-deficiency anaemia, which is a result of less oxygen carrying haemoglobin that occurs due to low level of iron In the body.

    As people use certain drugs or smoke cigarettes this occurs as an urge to relieve oneself from the lack of iron in the body.

    As they crush and eat on the ice it is a temporary healing boost mentally.
