Why Substance Addiction Is Worse Than Internet Addiction?
Question by Leia: why substance addiction is worse than internet addiction?
Best answer:
Answer by E E
Because substance addiction generally leads to irreversible changes in your brain and disrupts normal neurotransmitter function. (Basically, it messes with the chemicals that allow your brain to work properly, and these kinds of problems are hard to fix).
One can argue that internet addiction also causes brain changes, as any type of learning does, but I would assume it is more easily reversed since no new chemicals are introduced into the brain, disrupting normal neurotransmitter function. Internet addiction is a habit, whereas substance addition is a habit PLUS some serious biological changes.
Hope this helps!
