Understanding Addiction

Addiction is a complex condition characterized by compulsive substance use or behaviour despite harmful consequences. It can affect every aspect of your life, including your physical and mental health, relationships, and work. Understanding the nature of addiction is the first step towards recovery.

Symptoms and Impact of Addiction

Addiction can manifest in various ways. Common signs and symptoms include:

• Physical Symptoms: Changes in appetite, sleep disturbances, and physical health issues.

• Behavioural Symptoms: Secretive behaviour, neglecting responsibilities, and an inability to stop using the substance or engaging in the behaviour.

• Emotional Symptoms: Mood swings, anxiety, and depression.

Addiction can lead to severe health problems, financial difficulties, and strained relationships, making it crucial to seek help as early as possible.
