Introduction

Addiction is no longer confined 

to substances like alcohol and drugs. 

It now extends to behaviors and compulsions

Food, sex, pornography, media, money, gambling, violence, and luxury have all become the focus of compulsive behaviors that impact 

mental health, relationships, and social stability. 

This report examines 

the signs that these addictions are on the rise, 

their consequences, and the industries fueling them.
