Addictions

Addiction is defined as an individual's dependence or subjugation to an object or activity. It is considered an addiction when a person has formed a habitual use (more or less frequent) of this element and is unable to separate this habit from their daily life. The most common addictions range from mildly toxic substances (caffeine) to toxic substances (nicotine) and even to so-called hard or soft drugs (cocaine, heroin, cannabis...). Addiction to gambling is also common. All of these substances release endorphins.
