Abstract

Addiction is a complex and pervasive condition that affects millions of people worldwide, transcending geographical, social, and economic boundaries. It is characterized by the compulsive use of substances or engagement in behaviors despite adverse consequences. Addiction can severely impact individuals' physical health, mental well-being, and social relationships. Understanding addiction, its underlying mechanisms, and effective strategies for treatment and prevention is crucial for addressing this significant public health issue.Addiction is often described as a chronic, relapsing disorder marked by an inability to control the use of a substance or engagement in a behavior. The most commonly discussed forms of addiction involve substances such as alcohol, nicotine, and illicit drugs, but behavioral addictions, such as gambling, internet use, and eating disorders, are increasingly recognized as significant issues as well. Psychological factors such as stress, trauma, and mental health disorders, alongside environmental influences including family dynamics and social pressures, contribute to the development and progression of addiction. This intricate web of factors underscores the need for a multifaceted approach to treatment and prevention.
