There is no sweeter way to disguise it and no matter how it is referred to-including various psychiatric and medical terms- addiction is a disorder, physical or psychological, caused by different factors such as social, biological and/or genetic. This disorder promotes the use of substances or behaviors despite the negative effects they have in the person’s mind and body.

already stated, there are multiple factors that contribute to becoming “addicted” to one behavior or substance (with their proper distinctive characteristics and goals). The ethical/moral approach states that addictions occur in people with a weak personality, and so has nothing to do with bodily functions. In any case, a person with strong moral values would not fall into addictive actions. The medical approach explains that an addiction is a disease and can be psychological and/or physiological (this approach is the most commonly accepted although still in debate). Using this model as an approach to explain addiction, it is possible to have therapeutic sessions with the result of complete stop on the usage of the substance or the behavior.
