riippuvuuksien is a Finnish term that translates to "addictions" or "dependencies" in English. It broadly refers to a state where an individual is unable to control their use of a substance or engagement in a behavior, despite experiencing negative consequences. This condition affects psychological, physical, and social well-being.

Addictions can manifest in various forms, including substance use disorders involving alcohol, illicit drugs, and prescription medications, as well as behavioral addictions such as gambling, gaming, or internet use. The development of addiction is often complex, involving a combination of genetic predisposition, environmental factors, psychological vulnerabilities, and the inherent properties of the addictive agent.

The consequences of addiction are far-reaching, impacting the individual's health, relationships, finances, and overall quality of life. Treatment typically involves a multidisciplinary approach, which may include detoxification, psychotherapy, pharmacotherapy, and support groups. Recovery is often a long-term process requiring ongoing support and management. Awareness and understanding of riippuvuuksien are crucial for effective prevention and intervention strategies within society.
