Addiction is a complex brain disorder characterized by an overwhelming desire to seek pleasure or excitement, often at the expense of one’s health, relationships, and responsibilities. The drive for pleasure lies at the core of addiction, and it is powered by significant changes in the brain’s structure and chemistry. Understanding how addiction affects the brain sheds light on why individuals struggle to break free from addictive behaviors, even when they recognize the destructive consequences.
