Stress and Addiction
Stress is one of the most commonly reported precipitants of drug use and is considered the number one cause of relapse to drug abuse. For the past several decades, there have been a number of significant advances in research focusing on the neurobiological and psychosocial aspects of stress and addiction; along with this growth came the recognition of the importance of understanding the interaction of biological and psychosocial factors that influence risk for initiation and maintenance of addictive behaviors. Recent research has started to specifically focus on understanding the nature of how stress contributes to addiction - this research has influenced the way we think about addiction and its etiological factors and has produced exciting possibilities for developing effective intervention strategies; to date there has been no available book to integrate this literature. This highly focused work integrates and consolidates available knowledge to provide a resource for researchers and practitioners and for trainees in multiple fields.

Stress Addiction
""Stress Addiction"" explores the often-overlooked phenomenon of being addicted to stress, detailing how chronic stress can fuel addictive behaviors and negatively impact well-being. The book argues that many individuals unknowingly seek out or maintain high-stress situations, mistaking it for productivity or ambition. This reliance stems from the neurochemical reward pathways activated by stress hormones, creating a dependence similar to substance addiction. The book addresses how to recognize this pattern and understand the evolutionary reasons behind our stress responses, which have become maladaptive in modern society. The book provides a comprehensive understanding of the consequences of chronic stress on various physiological systems, such as the cardiovascular, immune, and digestive systems, as well as its psychological toll, including anxiety and depression. It also offers practical strategies for breaking the stress addiction cycle, including mindfulness, cognitive reframing, and lifestyle modifications designed to promote resilience. The book progresses from defining stress addiction and its roots to exploring its impacts and finally offering concrete tools for self-help and stress management.
