WHAT IS IT?
We have heard of it before. It is something that everyone has. Addiction happened when a substance that was consumed altered the chemical milieu of the brain temporarily. Usually, addiction is associated with drugs and alcohol. However, this is not completely true. Millions of people around the world suffered all kinds of addictions.
From wikipedia: "It is estimated that at least 90% of Americans have at least some form of soft addiction in their lives."
There are two types of addiction; SUBSTANCE DEPENDENCE and BEHAVIORAL ADDICTION
Most of the time, people can hardly cure their addictions on their own. Often, people thought they can get rid of the problem by just taking their minds off it but this does not usually work as addiction relates to temptation. The more you avoid, the more you want to do it. The methods of treating addictions varies; counselling, behavioural therapies, self-help groups or medical treatment.
Post medical treatments of drug dependence can lead to an even worse situation. This kind of addiction came to be when a person's brain biochemistry is altered by drugs and alcohol.
According to eMedicineHealth, many kinds of drugs can affect the brain.
