Addiction

Addiction is a complex issue where individuals experience compulsive engagement in harmful substances or behaviors, often leading to physical harm, emotional distress, or risk of severe consequences. Substance abuse, gambling addiction, compulsive gaming, and excessive internet use are among the many forms of addiction that can profoundly impact individuals and their families.


The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated addiction issues worldwide, with lockdowns affecting access to support systems and increasing stress levels among individuals. Economic uncertainties, social isolation, and heightened anxiety have contributed to a rise in addictive behaviors. Moreover, increased screen time and online activities have exposed individuals to heightened risks of developing or exacerbating addictive behaviors, such as excessive gaming or online gambling.
