Addiction

Addiction is a chronic condition in which people compulsively use harmful substances or engage in dangerous behaviors despite negative consequences. Addiction can lead to intense cravings, withdrawal symptoms, loss of control, and fractured relationships with family, friends, and coworkers. Treatment often involves a combination of therapy, medication, and support groups. Addressing underlying issues and developing coping mechanisms are crucial for recovery.[1][2]
