Addiction
- Alcohol Addiction
  
  Alcohol addiction deeply impacts the brain’s reward system, leading to intense cravings, compulsive drinking, and loss of control. Over time, dependence forms, causing withdrawal symptoms like anxiety, tremors, and seizures when alcohol use is reduced. This cycle creates emotional imbalance and heightens impulsive behaviors. Effective treatment combines medical detox, counseling, therapy, and long-term support for recovery stability.
