Do you spend your life pursuing perfection?

We grow up going to school striving for high scores. Then we search for the perfect job, partner, wedding, family, & home.πŸ’―πŸƒπŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ’¨

However, in this pursuit, we may miss small moments that make life meaningful.

This Sunday is #WorldMentalHealthDay2021, so here is a #BrainStuff thread about one of the less often discussed, and more readily stigmatised, disorders; addiction.

What happens in the brain to make addiction so harmful? Suffice to say, it's not 'just a matter of willpower'

/1
At present, practically all 'recognised' forms of addiction concern a type of psychoactive chemical substance. Alcohol, nicotine, caffeine, heroin, cocaine, etc.

The only 'official' non-chemical type of addiction so far is gambling.

There's much debate as to whether other types of addiction should be recognised, like shopping, porn/sex addiction, video games or social media etc.

These are all essentially marked 'TBC' right now. They may end up being recognised addictions, they may need a new label
