Absolutely! Here’s the revised text:

Addiction is a biopsychosocial disorder characterized by compulsive engagement in rewarding stimuli despite adverse consequences.

Drug Abuse, also known as substance use disorder, is a disease that affects a person’s brain and behavior, leading to an inability to control the use of a legal or illegal drug or medication.

Signs of addiction include tolerance, a loss of control over how much or how often one uses the substance, obsession with the substance, abandoning events and activities that were once enjoyable, and continuing to use drugs despite experiencing negative effects on one’s life. Anyone who begins to experience symptoms of withdrawal, whether mild or severe, in the absence of the substance is likely dependent on the substance.

Like many other mental and physical health issues, drug abuse is usually influenced by multiple factors. The commonly observed contributing factors to drug Abuse include:

• Family history: Drug Abuse runs through families, perhaps in part for genetic reasons, and in part due to environmental influence. If the individual have a blood relative who is addicted, especially a parent or full sibling then there are chances of higher risk for drug addiction.


• Mental health problems : Suffering from a mental health problem, whether or not it has been diagnosed, there will be the chances of higher risk for addiction. Mental health problems include anxiety, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), depression, bipolar personality disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), to name a few.


• Adverse childhood experiences : Adverse childhood experiences such as emotional, physical, or sexual abuse increase the risk for drug abuse.


• Social pressure : Social pressure from peers and friends is a serious risk factor, especially for young people in danger of starting to abuse drugs.


• Lack of family support or involvement : Lacking of family support will develop a higher risk for drug abuse. In children this is especially true and extends to a lack of supervision.


• Early use of drugs : Individual who begin to use and abuse drugs earlier in life are at a higher risk for addiction.


• Use of drugs that are highly addictive : Drugs such as cocaine, stimulants, or opioids, can cause addiction more readily than other substances. Injecting or smoking drugs can also increase the risk of addiction.
