• What are examples for addictive behaviours

  • Sources:

    Examples of addictive behaviors include compulsive use of social media, which can become reflexive and not necessarily linked to seeking pleasure or engagement. It becomes akin to habitual actions like mindlessly reaching into the refrigerator 1. Additionally, Dr. Huberman discusses addictions related to substances like alcohol and opiates, as well as behavioral addictions such as to food, sex, and video games. These behavioral addictions might not require complete cessation but could be managed by setting constraints or "binding behaviors" to limit their occurrence 2.
