Addictive Behaviour & Habits
Understanding Addictive Behaviour: How Social Activities Can Become Unhealthy Habits
What starts as a fun, social activity—such as gambling, alcohol, drugs, smoking, sex, pornography, or even social media—can sometimes turn into an addictive behavior. For some, these activities become strong, unhealthy addictive behaviour or habits with far-reaching negative effects on their personal lives, relationships, careers, and finances.
In the early stages, these behaviors trigger the release of “feel-good” hormones like dopamine, creating pleasurable sensations. However, for some, the need for more dopamine grows over time, especially as a way to cope with the monotony or stress of daily life. For others, these behaviors serve as a way to forget or escape unpleasant emotions or challenges.
