Snippet from Wikipedia: Addiction

Addiction is a neuropsychological disorder characterized by a persistent and intense urge to use a drug or engage in a behavior that produces an immediate psychological reward, despite substantial harm and other negative consequences. Repeated substance use produces long-lasting changes in brain networks involved in reward, executive function, stress reactivity and mood; these changes underlie both the intense drive to use a substance and the reduced capacity to control that urge. It is therefore understood as a brain disorder arising from a complex mix of psychosocial and neurobiological factors. A number of researchers argue that this framing is incomplete, and that addiction is better understood as learned behavior shaped by choice and social context.

Classic signs of addiction include compulsive engagement in rewarding stimuli, preoccupation with substances or behavior, and continued use despite negative consequences. Habits and patterns associated with addiction are typically characterized by immediate gratification (short-term reward), coupled with delayed deleterious effects (long-term costs).

Examples of substance addiction include alcoholism, cannabis addiction, amphetamine addiction, cocaine addiction, nicotine addiction, and opioid addiction. Behavioral addictions may include gambling addiction, shopping addiction, pornography addiction, internet addiction, video game addiction, and sexual addiction. The DSM-5-TR recognizes only gambling disorder as a behavioral (non-substance) addiction and lists internet gaming disorder as a condition for further study, while the ICD-11 additionally classifies gaming disorder as a disorder due to addictive behaviors.
