[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 681929, member: 19522"] Okay, I am at work on break reading articles on addiction. There are conflicting opinions and studies on whether addiction is a disease or not......"Addiction does not merit the criteria specified for a core disease entity, namely the presence of a primary measurable deviation from physiologic or anatomical norm. Addiction is self acquired and is not transmissible, contagious, autoimmune, hereditary, degenerative or traumatic. Treatment consists of little more than stopping a given behavior. True diseases worsen if left untreated." [I]Taken from[/I] [URL]http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3314045/[/URL] leafy [/QUOTE]
