What is Addiction?
Addiction is a condition in which a person becomes so reliant on a substance or certain behaviour that it becomes increasingly hard for them to resist or control. Addiction goes beyond mere dependency; it involves the psychological, behavioural, and physiological aspects of addiction.
Addiction can involve substances like drugs or alcohol abuse, as well as behaviours, including gaming, internet addiction, and gambling. It generally starts as a coping mechanism to deal with stress, emotions, and situations, but slowly turns into something which the individual feels they cannot live without. Addiction is usually perceived as a lack of willpower among the people of Kerala, but in reality, it is recognised as a medical condition.
Clinically, addiction is classified under ICD-10 codes F10–F19 (substance-related disorders). If left untreated, it can affect physical health, relationships, work, and other aspects of life. The good news is that with the right care, therapy, and structured support, recovery is possible and sustainable over time.
Mind
You might be affected by impulses and cravings such that you find it hard to concentrate and make decisions.
Emotions
Emotions such as guilt, shame, anxiety, and even mood swings because of the effort to control or stop yourself.
Energy
You may feel fatigued or restless due to addiction to your health and your sleeping habits, among other aspects.
Life
Addiction may affect other aspects of your life, including relationships, work, financial stability, and lifestyle choices.
Common Signs and Symptoms of Addiction
Addiction can have an effect on your thoughts, behaviour, and daily functioning. Recognising these signs early can help you take the first step toward recovery.
Loss of Control
You may find it very challenging to stop or quit the habit, even when you attempt to reduce or control it.
Continued Use Despite Harm
You may continue the habit despite its adverse effects on your physical well-being, relationships, and life.
Social Withdrawal

Neglecting Responsibilities
You may start neglecting your work, studies, and other responsibilities because of the addiction.
Mood Changes
There may be changes in your moods and behaviour, like irritability or emotional fluctuation, caused by the addiction.

Your body may require an increased amount of substance over time to feel the same as before.
Continued Use Despite Harm
You may continue the habit despite its adverse effects on your physical well-being, relationships, and life.
