Addiction

Addictions include various behaviors beyond substance misuse, involving compulsive activities that harm physical health, mental well-being, relationships, and daily functioning daily

Signs of Addiction

The manifestation of addiction varies, with impacts ranging from mild to severe. Key indicators include:
  • Loss of Control: Struggling to regulate substance use or addictive behavior.
  • Neglect of Responsibilities: Ignoring obligations at work, school, or home.
  • Legal Issues: Encountering legal problems related to the addiction.
  • Social and Interpersonal Issues: Facing relationship challenges, isolation, or conflicts.
  • Health Consequences: Experiencing detrimental effects on both physical and psychological health.
Understanding the distinction between addiction and dependence is important. Dependence, often seen in addiction, is characterized by physical and psychological reliance on a substance or behavior, including withdrawal symptoms upon cessation. Addiction, however, is a broader term that denotes a range of compulsive behaviors and substance misuse without necessarily meeting the full criteria for dependence.
