Summary
Addiction is a common problem involving substance or behavioral dependencies. Dopamine plays a crucial role in addiction, as it is responsible for the pleasurable effects of drugs or rewarding behaviors. Addiction sensitizes the brain's reward system, making it difficult to experience pleasure from non-addictive activities. This leads to a cycle of seeking the addictive stimulus for pleasure. Addiction can have negative consequences, including physical, psychological, and financial issues. To prevent addiction, it is essential to avoid addictive substances and be mindful of behaviors that can lead to addiction.
