Behavioural Addictions (Gaming, Gambling, Internet)
Behavioral addictions are compulsive actions—like gambling, gaming, or excessive internet use—that activate the brain’s reward system, similar to substance addiction. These behaviors can cause emotional distress, disrupt daily life, and impair social functioning. Diagnosis involves identifying loss of control and persistent behavior despite consequences. Treatment typically includes cognitive-behavioral therapy, education, and support groups.
