			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For years, individuals with drug addictions, alcoholism, or other addictions have been viewed as indulgent people who have give themselves up to debauchery. Addiction was viewed as a choice, not as the neuro-chemical brain disorder we now know it to be. <a href="http://www.huntingdonlifesciencesresearch.com/">Medical advancements in life sciences</a>, as well as years of clinical research, have confirmed that certain people are &#8217;wired&#8217; for addiction. People may manifest this addictive wiring in a multitude of ways. In fact, addiction goes far beyond the traditional definitions of drug dependency and alcoholism.</p>
<p>Addictive behaviors include sex addiction, shopping addiction, Internet addiction, and even exercise addiction. It goes beyond just compulsive behavior too; some people&#8217;s brain chemistry simply draws them to be addicted to something and it&#8217;s not a cycle that&#8217;s easily broken.</p>
<p>The wiring is said to cause certain people to be more likely to become addicted to drugs and other behaviors. In addition to the addictive properties of drugs and alcohol themselves, predisposed people have another factor working against them: <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-16854593">actual physical abnormalities</a> in fronto-striatal region of the brain, which is what controls behavior.   Studies on siblings have shown that people with such abnormalities are much more disposed to drug addiction than their &#8216;normal&#8217; brother or sister.</p>
<p>So what does this mean for <a href="http://kristof.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/10/29/the-latest-in-brain-research-on-addiction/">people with addictions</a>? That they are doomed to live out their days in craven despondency? On the contrary, many people learn to manage their addictions and live fulfilling lives. It is not unusual for people who are treated for addiction to discover that there are other factors at work in their conditions. Often times depression, OCD and anxiety figure into the overall cycle that causes people to seek release in a familiar seratonin-releasing activity. By getting to the root of the problem—that is, the reason for compulsively seeking out something—many people are able to mitigate the source one piece at a time.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s extremely important that people with addictive personalities talk to their doctor about different medications that can help alleviate the symptoms of addictive behavior. It&#8217;s a well known fact that some people suffering from depression and anxiety will compulsively turn to alcohol and other drugs in order to feel better. However, this only compounds the problem. What these people actually need are a nutritional diet and exercise, which are critical to creating a healthy mindset. While you may not be able to completely control or erase an addictive tendency you can reduce its impact on your life.</p>
