Behavioral addiction

Behavioral addiction is like having a really strong urge to do something over and over again, even if it's not good for you. It's a kind of habit that can be hard to stop, like checking your phone too much or playing video games for too long. It's like how an addict might feel when they’re hooked on something and can't stop.
