THE MENTAL DISORDERS WE TREAT:

BEHAVIORAL ADDICITONS

Behavioral addictions or non-substance addictions refer to the loss of control over a behavior that causes adverse consequences and a failure to resist the impulse or temptation to do something that will harm yourself or others. 

Behavioral addictions are considered compulsive behaviors. The one most like the common idea of addiction is gambling. This is a form of brain illness in which chemicals modify the way the brain works. 

Within these behaviors we can find ludopathy or pathological gambling, addiction to food or sex, bigorexia, compulsive shopping, and more recently, addiction to the internet and new technologies.
