What Is Addiction?
An addiction is a chronic dysfunction of the brain system that involves complex interactions among brain circuits, genetics, the environment, cognitive and motor functioning, and also, influence in several domains of an individual’s life experiences.
People with addiction may use substances or engage in behaviors that become compulsive and often continue despite harmful consequences. People experiencing addiction are also prone to cycles of relapse and remission. Despite these cycles, these habits may also typically worsen over time, and can lead to permanent health complications and severe consequences like bankruptcy.
A few signs of addiction would include:

- Showing frustration with others and blaming them for their problems
