Understanding Impulsivity and Addiction
Impulse control plays a crucial role in managing addictions such as gambling and internet addiction among individuals with ADHD. The strength of the signals to engage in addictive behaviors can be overpowering due to challenges in inhibiting impulses. Additionally, impulsivity can lead to the development of anxiety as a coping mechanism, creating a cycle where anxiety drives individuals to self-medicate with substances like alcohol, gambling, or internet use. Managing impulsivity signals is essential in addressing and controlling addictive behaviors.
