The neurobiology of addiction is explained in this book and takes the reader on a journey into the brain to explore how real this addiction is. This book provides insights into why the addicted person finds it difficult to avoid the object of addiction and continues to seek it despite the ill effects. Some recommendations are provided on how to avoid or overcome social media addiction.
