One question that comes to mind is; how much of a disease is addiction?
Where i come from, very little attention is put to addiction and there are very few facilities on ground to help people with a form of addiction or the other.
Overcoming addiction takes a lot of effort; deliberate and otherwise and it is quite funny the variety of things a person can get addicted to, as one can get addicted to basically anything without even knowing it.
Hello @rharphelle :)
Thank you for stopping by.
This is an intriguing question. And may be one that normally arises when the topic is mental disorder. From a psychological standpoint I don't see any disease 'more of a disease' than another. Particularity when, as you highlighted here, a lot of effort is needed to control it. Because as you know, addicts are under the constant danger of relapse.
All the best to you.
