Addikciós

Addikciós is an adjective used in Hungarian to describe things related to addiction or having the potential to cause dependency. It is formed from the noun addikció (addiction) with the suffix -s, and commonly functions to modify nouns such as viselkedés, kockázat, hatás, kezelés or környezet. The term appears in medical, public health, and social discussions to denote phenomena, factors, or interventions connected to addictive processes.

In clinical and scientific contexts, addikciós describes characteristics, risks, or processes associated with addiction. For example, addikciós kockázat refers to the likelihood of developing an addiction, while addikciós hatás indicates effects that contribute to or result from addictive behavior. The phrase addikciós kezelés denotes treatment approaches aimed at addressing addiction, and addikciós viselkedés can describe behaviors characteristic of addictive patterns. The word is part of a broader vocabulary that also includes függőség (dependence or addiction) and szenvedélybetegség (addiction disorder).

Usage notes: addikciós is commonly employed in medical, psychological, and public health writing, as well as in media discussions about substance use, gambling, gaming, and other potentially addictive activities. While it is closely related to the concept of függőség, addikciós emphasizes the connection to addictive processes rather than the condition alone. The term may coexist with synonyms such as függőségi or szenvedélybetegségi, depending on context and stylistic choice.
