There are many types of addiction. This paper focuses on Caffeine Addiction and the main goal is to get a knowledgeable understanding about what is caffeine, the process of caffeine on the brain, the health benefits of caffeine addiction, signs and symptoms, withdrawal symptoms and the possible ways you can treat the addiction. What is Caffeine Addiction? Firstly, before knowing what caffeine addiction is, we need to be familiar about what caffeine entails. Caffeine is a naturally occurring chemical stimulant called trimethylxanthine(Brain,Bryant,Cunningham,2014). It is said to be present in the leaves, seeds or fruit of more than sixty plant species, including: - Tea leaves-seed - Kola nuts-seed - Cocao beans-seed - Guarana- seed - Yerba mate-leaf ( Medical News Today, 2014) Around ninety percent of persons use caffeine in one form or the other without even knowing it( Mandal, 2014).Caffeine may be found in tea, coffee ,chocolate and it may be added to some foods ,prescription and over the counter medicines to treat tiredness, drowsiness and help to relieve pain (Goodwin,2014). When this substance is purified, the caffeine is in powder form, and then it is added to enhance colas and soft drinks. Some other things that the powder form can be found in is, sport beverages and energy drinks (Medical News Today, 2014). The bitterness of the caffeine in this form acts as a deterrent to pests. The word caffeine comes from the German word kaffee and the French word cafe, both meaning coffee. The U.S Food and Drug Administration together with the American Medical Association classify a “moderate intake” of caffeine as being safe. By this they mean that if you consume a moderate amount of caffeine; you are less likely to be at risk. Caffeine can be taken at different levels; either being low, moderate, high and heavy amounts. A low moderate is 130-300mg per day, moderate is 200-300mg per day and heavy caffeine consumption is more than 6,000mg per day (MedicineNet, 2013). Caffeine addiction is the uncontrollable craving for caffeine product such as coffee, and the other items caffeine is found in (Right Diagnosis, 2014). A caffeine addict is someone who doesn’t feel that they can get through the day without consuming caffeine; without it they do not feel alert. Many persons believe that being addicted to caffeine is not a big deal and that it is ok because it s not a real drug. The truth is that they are unaware of the negative effects it can bring upon them, health wise, socially and psychologically. Caffeine makes people feel good and it is said to be a natural solution for those who want to stay up late to study and for those who just want to get through on a day’s work. As time goes by, consuming a lot of caffeine can create major problems for individuals later on in life. Caffeine on the Brain (Why does it make an individual feel so good?) Caffeine changes the way our brain and body operates, as well as how we feel and behave. It is known to be a central nervous system stimulant and its main effect on the body is to keep one alert and going. Stephen R. Brain, the author of Buzzed; the Science and Love of Caffeine and Alcohol, says that caffeine isn’t a stimulant on its own, however, it is a stimulant enabler; a substance that allows out natural stimulants to run wild (Stromberg,2013). There are two bio-chemical neurotransmitters, adenosine and dopamine which deal with how our brain functions and how we feel after we consume caffeine. Firstly, caffeine has the ability to affect
