Addiction occurs in a spectrum. You may be having mildly addictive tendencies or a severe predisposition towards addiction. Medically, it is generally viewed as a treatable medical condition rather than a disability.
Genetic factors may influence a person’s tendency toward addiction. This can be related to how the brain processes certain substances or behaviors.
For example, certain genes related to dopamine receptors and neuro-transmitters can influence a person’s response to certain things & their likelihood to develop dependence. It is very important to note that genetic predisposition is not deterministic, thus many people with genetic risk factors may not develop addiction & many without a predisposition do.

Dependence : As tolerance develops, the person may increase the quantity of their behavior or substance use in order to maintain the desired effect.
Addiction usually occurs because of a combination of factors, which are psychological, physiological, and environmental. It is challenging to conquer because of the following:
