Addiction

Addiction refers to a complex condition where a person becomes physically or psychologically dependent on a substance or behavior, despite its negative consequences. It is characterized by compulsive engagement in the behavior or use of the substance, often to the detriment of other aspects of life, such as relationships, work, and health.

Substance addiction typically involves drugs or alcohol, where individuals develop tolerance (needing more of the substance to achieve the same effect) and withdrawal symptoms when they stop using it. Behavioral addictions, on the other hand, can include compulsive behaviors such as gambling, gaming, or shopping.

The causes of addiction are multifaceted and involve a combination of genetic, environmental, and psychological factors. Risk factors include genetics, family history of addiction, trauma, mental health disorders, and social influences.
