Choose 2 examples of behavioral addictions
- Choose 2 examples of behavioral addictions. Describe them, and see if you can find any stats on who is most affected. What are some signs of behavioral “addiction” as opposed to just heavy use? What are some potential treatments for behavioral addiction? Citations are expected.
- In your responses, you may want to explore why you think these things are becoming more prevalent than they were several decades ago. Do you have any personal experience (or know someone) with these conditions? How do they affect one’s life? Does/should society treat these conditions as seriously as we do substance addictions?
