Substances such as alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, opioid, inhalants and so on, change mood or behaviour, or both. These substances are often consumed occasionally for social or recreational purposes. However, at times, the use of such substances becomes excessive and repetitive at regular intervals, leading to substantial impairment in personal, professional, and social life. In such a case, an individual is said to have become dependent on such substances. Similarly, behaviours such as gambling, exploring the internet, shopping or internet gaming can become addictive if they lead to significant interference in a person’s ability to function optimally. If the indulgence is associated with the above-mentioned symptoms, a person is said to have a "Substance Use Disorder" or an “Addictive Disorder”. Such disorders often begin in early adolescence, with extremely high prevalence in individuals aged 18-24 years.
The types of addictive substances include, but are not limited to alcohol, caffeine, marijuana, hallucinogens, inhalants, opioids, sedatives, hypnotics, anxiolytics, stimulants (cocaine and amphetamine related substances) and tobacco.
