"Drugs, Brains, and Behavior - The Science of Addiction"

Today, thanks to science, our views and our responses to addiction and the broader spectrum of substance use disorders have changed dramatically. As a result of scientific research, we know that addiction is a medical disorder that affects the brain and changes behavior. Despite these advances, we still do not fully understand why some people become addicted to drugs or how drugs change the brain to foster compulsive drug use. Nora D.

Addiction

La dépendance, ou addiction (qui est un anglicisme), est, au sens phénoménologique, une conduite qui repose sur une envie répétée et irrépressible, en dépit de la motivation et des efforts du sujet pour s'y soustraire. Le sujet se livre à son addiction (par exemple : utilisation d'une drogue, ou participation à un jeu d'argent), malgré la conscience aiguë qu'il a — le plus souvent — d'abus et de perte de sa liberté d'action, ou de leur éventualité. L'anglicisme addiction est au sens courant souvent synonyme de toxicomanie[1] et désigne tout attachement nocif à une substance ou à une activité. Le terme d’assuétude, également noté bien que peu utilisé, a un sens similaire sans toutefois être aussi négatif (assuétude au chocolat mais dépendance à la cocaïne).
