What’s the Psychological/mental Cause of Addiction?

Question by Joel Z: What’s the psychological/mental cause of addiction?
For a school project I’m doing research to the mental/psychological causes of addiction, and I was hoping that you could help me out with some questions.

– What are the proven mental/psychological causes of addiction? (Does depression, enviroment, family situation, etc. play a part in addiction.)

– Is it true that some people are mentally more vulnerable to addiction than others? If so, how come?

– When people are physically totally cured, are there any psychologycal/mental causes which make them fall back into their habits easily again?

I would really appreciate if you could answer these questions. Any other information that you can provide about the psychological/mental causes of addiction is very welcome as well.

Thank You!
I know most of this is on the internet, but I am recquired to ‘interview’ experts or/and ex/recovering addicts about it, to hear their personal experience.

Sugar Addiction? Diabetes?

Question by toomuchtv23: sugar addiction? diabetes?
My boyfriends 7 yo daughter is addicted to sugar in a major way. Always asking for snacks with sugar, obsessing over it. Wherever we go, shes always bugging people for snacks. She goes to her grandmas house & the first thing she does is go to her cabinet where all the junk food is & automatically starts asking if she can have it. She gets mad when she doesn’t get sugar. She sneaks out of her room in the middle of the night & steals cookies, cakes, snack bars puddings etc. She wakes up in the middle of the night & brings it in her room. Shes already been diagnosed with ADHD. Could she have diabetes? Im worried!
