In this world of over consciousness about everything, many people are over-reacting to the things that are depicted in medical journals. From frequent watching or reading, people now are aware of severe diseases and the causes that lead to them. This makes them over conscious about the things that cause them. For example, people know the effects of obesity. This makes them shed excess weight which is a good sign unless it becomes an addiction. Under this kind of food addiction, they tend to be more nervous and tend to eat more in contrary. Thus the anorexia nervosa or anorexia bulimias are serious disorders that need to be treated.
Apart from these addictions there may be other addictions also. Drug Addiction is one of the most common addictions that people succumb to unknowingly. Under severe stress or some bad incidence in life, people catch up with this habit that becomes life threatening over a period of time. They forget about their day to day jobs, they also tend to neglect every other thing in their life including family and set themselves on a hazardous path.
This if combined with alcohol addiction; there is no end to the misery. It is referred to as alcohol dependence syndrome. It is a severe form of alcoholism in which the person just cannot do without alcohol and can go to any extent to get it. There are many people who have ruined their lives through this addiction. Also gambling addiction is one of the offshoots of alcoholism. This sets a vicious cycle of spending spree that is never ending thus engulfing the person in debts and more addictions. If you want to have a life with some meaning and purpose, addictions should be washed off first!
