There is a debate about the nature of addiction, whether it is a result of brain damage, brain dysfunction, or normal brain changes that result from habit acquisition, and about whether it is a disease.

This may be a good thing indicating more nuance in typing the heterogeneous phenomena we used to call ‘addiction’.
