Addiction Information
Addiction is a complex condition that can affect almost every area of someone’s life. It usually develops over time, and addiction can cause physical, psychological, and social problems. Although addiction is often associated with illegal drugs, it can also be caused by many legal substances and behaviours like shopping or using your phone.
Addiction is considered a brain disease because it changes how the brain works. It causes cravings and a strong desire to keep using despite the harmful consequences.
If you think you might be addicted to something, it’s important to seek professional help and addiction advice. There are many addiction treatment options available, and recovery is possible.
