Summary/Abstract: There are several understudied types of addictions. Whether it is an addiction to food or alcohol, smoking, drugs, or, more recently, technology, the brain's reaction is the same, consisting of the secretion of serotonin, the pleasure hormone. Combating these addictions can be achieved through integrative therapy, which includes both the contemplation of nature and the discovery of its secrets, the cultivation of the mind, a balanced diet, and occupational therapy. In addition to lifestyle changes, religion is a recommended solution because it replaces the addiction of the brain with a benevolent attitude that can inter-neuronally discharge the same pleasure hormone.
