An addiction is…“A state of Addiction is a
state of periodic or chronic intoxication
produced by repeated consumption of a drug,
natural or synthetic”(World Health Organisation)
“An addict is a person addicted to a habit, especially
one dependent on a drug” (OED)
The central feature of drug addiction is compulsive drug use - loss of control over apparently voluntary acts of drug seeking
and drug taking (Goldstein, 1994).

What is addictive behaviour?The DSM-V has 2 categories:
1.Substance related disorders (smoking)
2.Addictive disorders (gambling)

InitiationThe process of
becoming addicted
![Page 10: Specification. An addiction is… “A state of Addiction is a state of periodic or chronic intoxication produced by repeated consumption of a drug, natural](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649d975503460f94a80854/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
MaintenanceAddictive behaviour continues due tolerance or withdrawal
(even when aware of the undesirable consequences)
![Page 11: Specification. An addiction is… “A state of Addiction is a state of periodic or chronic intoxication produced by repeated consumption of a drug, natural](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649d975503460f94a80854/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
CessationWhen an addictive
behaviour is treated or stopped and
finally terminated completely
![Page 12: Specification. An addiction is… “A state of Addiction is a state of periodic or chronic intoxication produced by repeated consumption of a drug, natural](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649d975503460f94a80854/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
RelapseAfter a behaviour
has been terminated; signs
and symptoms begin to show again.

The Biological Approach to Addiction
![Page 15: Specification. An addiction is… “A state of Addiction is a state of periodic or chronic intoxication produced by repeated consumption of a drug, natural](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649d975503460f94a80854/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The Biological Approach to Addiction
The Brain!
What is the focus of the Biological Approach?
What neurotransmitters are involved?
How can genetics explain gambling?
How does it link to the behavioural approach?
![Page 16: Specification. An addiction is… “A state of Addiction is a state of periodic or chronic intoxication produced by repeated consumption of a drug, natural](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649d975503460f94a80854/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Assumptions:Addiction is an illness
Addiction is irreversible
Emphasis on
treatment
![Page 17: Specification. An addiction is… “A state of Addiction is a state of periodic or chronic intoxication produced by repeated consumption of a drug, natural](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649d975503460f94a80854/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
InitiationAddictive drugs trigger the release of
dopamine - reward systemWhile the full diversity of drug effects is mediated by multiple
neurotransmitters acting in multiple brain regions, most addictive drugs share the common property of increasing dopamine release in
the striatum (e.g., Di Chiara and Imperato, 1988; Kuczenski et al., 1991).
![Page 18: Specification. An addiction is… “A state of Addiction is a state of periodic or chronic intoxication produced by repeated consumption of a drug, natural](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649d975503460f94a80854/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Opiate (pleasure) pathways can be directly stimulated by heroin, alcohol and nicotine
![Page 19: Specification. An addiction is… “A state of Addiction is a state of periodic or chronic intoxication produced by repeated consumption of a drug, natural](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649d975503460f94a80854/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Susceptible people to addictions are born with a more sensitive mesolimbic dopamine pathway
(Liebman and Cooper, 1989)
Mesolimbic pathways: spontaneously release small amounts of dopamine to maintain stable moods.
![Page 20: Specification. An addiction is… “A state of Addiction is a state of periodic or chronic intoxication produced by repeated consumption of a drug, natural](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649d975503460f94a80854/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Maintenance
Persistent exposure to a drug eventually leads to a reduction in brain activity
Greater Tolerance = More drug useGreater Withdrawal
Draw a representation of this…
Less effect…
![Page 21: Specification. An addiction is… “A state of Addiction is a state of periodic or chronic intoxication produced by repeated consumption of a drug, natural](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649d975503460f94a80854/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Relapse
Lasting memories maintain the need for the drug and the positive rewards.
Addicts crave the dopamine rush (not just the drug!)
![Page 22: Specification. An addiction is… “A state of Addiction is a state of periodic or chronic intoxication produced by repeated consumption of a drug, natural](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649d975503460f94a80854/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Genetic Predisposition
Alcohol disorder patients: 36% of
their relatives also diagnosed with an alcohol disorder
(Merikangas et al, 1998)
Heritability of nicotine dependence has been estimated at 60-70% (Kendler, et al, 1999)
Heritability of alcohol dependence has been estimated at 39-60%
(Heath and Martin, 1993)

Individual differences: genetic predisposition or

Does everyone become an addict?
Nature AND nurture?
Much of the data is correlational…
What about Gambling?
