Abstract:

This article depicts the concept of addiction and briefly reviews the key features of substance use addiction and behavioral addiction in recent literature. Based on the DSM-5, tobacco addiction and alcohol addiction in substance use disorder, gambling addiction and Internet gaming addiction in behavioral disorder are reviewed representatively. After that, the main connections between different forms of addiction are summarized. Finally, several suggestions for public consciousness, definitions, and interventions for addiction are proposed. More research on addiction is needed to improve our understanding of this field.

Keywords:
