Addiction

Addiction

is a treatable, chronic medical disease involving complex interactions among brain circuits, genetics, the environment, and an individual's life experiences. People with addiction use substances or engage in behaviors that become compulsive and often continue despite harmful consequences.

If the addiction is the type created by life experiences rather than alcohol or substance abuse it can be helped by suggestion therapy to reframe past events.
