deeper issues involved with depression, I think it’s important
to define what addiction really is. Addiction is a chronic,
often relapsing brain disease that causes compulsive substance
seeking and use despite harmful consequences to the individual
who is addicted and to those around them. Addiction is a brain
disease because the abuse of drugs leads to changes in the
structure and function of the brain. It is a behavioral syndrome
in which substances impede one’s ability to exert control over
the impulse to use drugs despite adverse consequences. This is
the defining characteristic of addiction. There is a slight
difference between substance abuse and addiction. Substance
abuse means using a substance in the wrong way.  JJLopez's
