05 ADDICTION A choice or a disease, it doesn’t matter.
Addiction
is
a
critical
problem that our society has been facing over the last decade, but when it comes to the term “addiction” most people think it’s all about substance use and lack of willpower,
but
in
fact,
addiction includes a lot of other aspects, before diving into
it
let’s
see
what
addiction really is. Addiction is the inability to stop doing something even though
it
psychological
causes
and
physical
harm. And by “Something” I mean
anything,
it
doesn’t
matter if it’s a chemical or behavioral
addiction,
anything may be addictive at some point. Social
Media
addiction,
caffeine
addiction,
internet
gaming addiction….. we’re all addicted
to
something
without even knowing.
