This second type of dependency isn’t really taken seriously, and sometimes, people even joke about gambling or Internet addictions. The problem is, even if they’re not as visible as substance-based compulsions, they bring about similar urges, which is why they’re so scary.

Addictions like overeating, gambling, excessive exercising, shoplifting, and gaming are just a few of the many non-substance addictions that can creep up on a person. They stimulate the brain’s reward system to such an extent that it can keep you hooked on the intense and joyful feelings that come after.

Among the youth who’ve grown up accessing the net, studies have found that nearly 5.8% of adolescents and 2.8% of young adults have an Internet-related addiction. It isn’t just that they’re constantly consuming content—the problem is that such an obsession has also been associated with depression, anxiety, and disturbed sleep patterns.

Since these non-substance additions are often part of our daily routine, you can change the compulsion by changing up your day-to-day activities. It won’t be easy to completely turn everything around at first, but small steps can also make a big difference.
