Have you ever wondered why some people seem to be more prone to addiction than others? While addiction can affect anyone, certain individuals may have a higher susceptibility due to their personality traits and characteristics. This concept is often referred to as an addictive personality. While the term "addictive personality" may sound simple, it is important to understand that it is not a diagnosis or a definitive label. Instead, it is a set of traits and behaviours that may increase the risk of addiction. The concept of addiction and addictive behaviour has a rich and complex history deeply intertwined with human civilisation. From ancient times to our modern understanding, the evolution of addiction has been shaped by cultural, medical, and scientific developments.
