Can You Be Addicted To Pain?

It is possible to become addicted to pain, although it is not a substance. Some people may become addicted to the relief that pain medications or other treatments provide, leading to a psychological dependence on the pain medication rather than the pain itself. Additionally, some people may engage in self-harm or other behaviors that cause pain to experience a release of endorphins, which can also lead to addiction to the feeling of pain relief. It’s important to seek professional help if you or someone you know is experiencing addiction or dependence on any substance or behavior.
