Addiction is a long term medical condition, and the good news is that it can be treated. It’s often linked with things like drugs, alcohol, smoking, or gambling. But addiction doesn’t only show up with substances, either. Some people can develop an unhealthy pull towards other behaviours such as work, shopping, or even gaming.
