Quick takeaways
- Addiction is not solely about substances and encompasses various aspects of human behavior, requiring a broader perspective and more effective approaches to address it.

Deep dives
Different forms of addiction
Addiction can take various forms such as substance abuse, social media addiction, or pornography addiction. These forms of addiction are characterized by the continued compulsive use of a substance or behavior despite harm to oneself or others. Addiction can also be seen as the things we do that we lie about, creating a double life where certain behaviors are hidden and denied. The modern world with its overwhelming abundance of addictive stimuli makes individuals vulnerable to addiction, as their brains have evolved to seek pleasurable stimuli and avoid painful ones.
