Question

define addiction........​

Answer 1

Addiction is a brain disorder characterized by compulsive engagement in rewarding stimuli despite adverse consequences.[9] Despite the involvement of a number of psychosocial factors, a biological process—one that is induced by repeated exposure to an addictive stimulus—is the core pathology that drives the development and maintenance of an addiction.[3][10] The two properties that characterize all addictive stimuli are that they are reinforcing (i.e., they increase the likelihood that a person will seek repeated exposure to them) and intrinsically rewarding (i.e., they are perceived as being inherently positive, desirable, and pleasurable).[3][5][8]
