Addiction is a complex condition which can manifest itself in many ways. Some of the common signs and symptoms may include:
Addictions are not caused by a single factor – there is no straightforward answer as to why this condition develops in some people, whilst others remain immune to it. Scientists do agree, however, that a number of risk factors play an import role in understanding the origins of addiction. These risk factors include pre-existing mental health problems, genetics, history of addiction within family, gender, as well as a range of environmental influences (e.g. peer pressure).
Treating one’s addiction is in most cases not just a simple matter of deciding ‘I don’t want to do it anymore’. Quitting can be in fact very difficult to achieve, even for individuals who are truly committed to overcoming the condition. This is why addicts should seek professional help.
