What is Addiction?
Addiction is a condition where a person becomes dependent on a substance or behavior, making it difficult to control or stop despite negative consequences. It is more than just a habit—it affects the brain, behavior, and daily functioning over time, often creating a cycle that is hard to break without support.
Addiction can involve substances like alcohol or drugs, or behaviors such as gaming, internet use, or gambling. It often begins as a way to cope with stress, emotions, or difficult situations, but gradually becomes something a person feels unable to function without. In Kerala, it is often misunderstood as a lack of willpower, but it is a recognized medical condition, not a personal failure.
Clinically, addiction is classified under ICD-10 codes F10–F19 (substance-related disorders). If left untreated, it can affect physical health, relationships, work, and overall quality of life. The good news is that with the right support, therapy, and structured care, recovery is possible and sustainable over time.
