What Is Addiction?

Understanding Addiction

Addiction is more than a bad habit—it’s a mental and physical health condition that affects behavior, brain function, and decision-making. It often includes:

Alcohol or drug dependence

Prescription misuse

Behavioral addictions (gambling, food, gaming, etc.)

It becomes a problem when it disrupts daily life, causes harm, or feels impossible to stop—even when you want to.
