    Study Notes

    Addiction

    • Addiction is a chronic and relapsing disorder categorized by compulsive drug use, regardless of the negative impact.
    • The initiation of drug use is a conscious choice, but repetitive drug use alters the brain, impairing control and increasing cravings.
    • Addiction affects all demographics, but certain populations are more likely to experience it.
