Detailed explanation-1: -What biological factors increase risk of addiction? Biological factors that can affect a person’s risk of addiction include their genes, stage of development, and even gender or ethnicity.
Detailed explanation-2: -That’s because addiction develops when the pleasure circuits in the brain get overwhelmed, in a way that can become chronic and sometimes even permanent. This is what’s at play when you hear about reward “systems” or “pathways” and the role of dopamine when it comes to addiction.
