What is a Behavioral Addiction?
Behavioral addictions, also known as non-substance addictions, are patterns of compulsive behaviors that can have negative consequences on a person’s life. Unlike substance addictions, which involve dependence on a chemical substance, behavioral addictions involve dependence on a specific activity or behavior.
What does it look like?
Common characteristics of behavioral addictions include:
- Loss of control: People with behavioral addictions often feel like they cannot control their urges to engage in the addictive behavior. They may try to quit or cut back, but they find themselves unable to do so.
- Cravings: Just like people with substance addictions, people with behavioral addictions can experience intense cravings for the addictive behavior. These cravings can be very difficult to resist.
- Tolerance: Over time, people with behavioral addictions may need to engage in the addictive behavior more and more frequently or for longer periods of time in order to get the same feeling of satisfaction.
- Negative consequences: Behavioral addictions can have a negative impact on all areas of a person’s life,including their relationships, work, and finances.
