    • Frequency – How often is the interaction with the substance or activity
    • Duration – For what duration of time this interaction is going on

    The larger the dose, more frequent the interaction and longer the duration of interaction, there is more probability of getting addicted.

    How to identify addiction

    There are certain warning indicators about addictions in addition to obvious engagements. These are more pronounced in substance abuse addictions. Some of them are:

    Causes of addiction

    There are two major causes of why someone gets into a state of addiction and why he or she finds it difficult to come out. These are:

    1. Physical dependence – Physical dependence is the state which is characterized by certain physical discomforts and symptoms when the person does not take the substance. It can be restlessness, pain, soreness, difficulty in breathing, lethargy, disturbed body functions etc.
    2. Psychological dependence  – Psychological dependence is the state which is characterized by certain mental discomforts like craving for substance or activity, irritability, disturbance in sleep, anguish etc.

    Many theories have been proposed to explain the basis of addictions. Some are :

    1. Pleasure theory – According to this theory addictions are due to learned behavior to seek pleasure and avoid discomfort.
    2. Disease theory – According to this theory addiction is a disease due to neurochemical changes in brain.
    3. Genetic theory – According to this theory addictions are due to genetic factors and run in families.
    4. Circumstantial theory – According to this theory addictions are due to circumstances faced by the person and this includes easy availability of substance, having plenty of free time, presence of role model etc.
    5. Other theories like experimental theory (experience by experiment), opponent effect theory (opposing effect of substance), allostatic theory (stability through change), cultural theory (effect of culture), moral theory (lack of morals),  habit theory (habit formation), rational theory (rational response).
