Addiction

Prepared by Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan and Dr. Serdar Nurmedov, this book examines one of the most critical problems of our age—addiction—through the lens of the latest scientific findings.

Tarhan defines addiction as “a treatable brain disease” and explores the topic comprehensively, including its causes, protective factors, and the continuously developing treatment methods.

With Nurmedov’s contributions, the book discusses not only alcohol and substance addiction but also the development and treatment of all forms of real or virtual addictions. The questionnaires and scales included at the end help readers gain insight into their own risk levels regarding addiction.

Alongside computer games and social media platforms—which have become a part of nearly everyone’s life today—the book also offers serious warnings about shopping addiction, hoarding behaviors, and gambling addiction.
