How to know if you're experiencing behavioral addiction
Internet, video games, food, sex, gambling—all of these things can make us feel good, but they also have the potential to become addictive. However, behavioral addictions are not all recognized as equally legitimate, especially compared to substance use disorders. We talk to a clinical psychologist about the similarities and differences between behavioral addictions and substance-related addictions, how to know if a behavior is becoming an addiction, and how to get help.
