Behavioral addictions

Service Description

Behavioral addictions are compulsive behaviors that can have devastating effects on your daily life, relationships, and well-being. Unlike substance addictions, these behaviors, such as addiction to sex, pornography, video games, or social media, can often go unnoticed until they begin to disrupt your daily activities. What is a behavioral addiction? A behavioral addiction is characterized by a repetitive and uncontrollable engagement in an activity, despite negative consequences. This dependence can cease to be a source of pleasure and become an obligation, causing stress and suffering.
