Addiction

OVERVIEW: Addiction is a biopsychosocial disorder characterized by compulsive engagement in rewarding stimuli despite adverse consequences. A variety of complex neurobiological and psychosocial factors are implicated in the development of addiction, with the predominant paradigm among researchers in the United States being the Brain Disease model, though debate exists within the field over the relative contribution of any given factor. Classic hallmarks of addiction include impaired control over substances or behavior, preoccupation with substance or behavior, and continued use despite consequences. 

CAUSES:

  • Addiction leads to changes in the brain's reward circuits over time.
  • You may be more likely to become addicted if you have family members who also have addictions.
  • Research suggests that genetics increases the likelihood of developing an addiction
  • Exposure to addictive substances, social pressure, lack of social support, and poor coping skills can also contribute to the development of addictions.
  • The more someone uses a substance the more likely they will become addicted to it.

SYMPTOMS:

  • An inability to stop
  • Changes in mood, appetite, and sleep
  • Continuing despite negative consequences
  • Denial
  • Engaging in risky behaviors
  • Feeling preoccupied with the substance or behavior
  • Losing interest in other things you used to enjoy
  • Putting the substance or behavior ahead of other parts of life including family, work, and other responsibilities
  • Secrecy
  • Using increasingly larger amounts of a substance
  • Taking more of the substance than you intended
