Am I at risk for behavioral addiction?

By HabitDoc • April 28th, 2010

At risk is a very interesting term. The reality is that anybody could, in theory, become, be at risk for developing a behavioral addiction. Certain societies though lend themselves to certain behaviors, for example, gambling is very large in certain populations. That would put someone more at risk for developing a gambling or behavioral addiction. Looking at your mom or dad and what they did on a behavioral level or biological relatives on a behavioral level puts you at risk to develop one behavioral addiction over another behavioral addiction or a substance addiction.
