What causes

Addiction?
-Suyog Shrestha

Question
What

causes addiction?
Some of my close friends are now
addicted to drugs and I was curious
on what caused it

What I knew
I

knew that drugs


contained certain
chemicals which
caused the brain
to crave them
after each intake.

Story of my search
I

first watched the video of Johann


Hari talking on Democracy Now
After watching that, I searched
Johann Hari online and I found an
excerpt of his book, Chasing the
Scream, which contained very
valuable information

What I learned
Experiment-

1980
Bruce Alexander
Rat Park
Vietnam
Portugal

Reflection
This

I-search paper was very helpful


for me to learn more about addiction
It was a very interesting process and
I received a lot of knowledge for the
future.
