List common types of addictions and the difference between physiological and psychological addiction
A psychological addiction occurs when a person relies on a chemical substance, or any behavior that he or she becomes dependent upon, to meet his or her psychological needs (such as filling a void or to reduce anxiety/stress). A physiological addiction is a state of physical need for a drug, with development of withdrawal syndrome following abrupt cessation of the use of the substance.
