An addiction can be expressed or defined in so many ways that sometimes it is quite difficult to distinguish and, above all, to recognize that there is a problem in us or in someone close to us. We generally relate addiction only to the consumption of some substance. Such as alcohol, cannabis, opioids, hallucinogens, tobacco, stimulants, inhalants, anxiolytic drugs and more.
