We live in a society that encourages addictive behaviors, proposes easy and immediate solutions to problems, and facilitates toxic or behavioral “escapes” from a very early age. At the beginning of the millennium, many parents consulted about the abusive ways that their children used computers and game consoles and, more recently, cell phones. Little by little, addictions were no longer limited to substances and extended to behavioral ones, which affect many people of all ages today.
