Cryptocurrency Addiction Treatment
Medically Supervised Treatment for Behavioral Addiction
Cryptocurrency markets operate continuously, without closing hours, offering rapid price fluctuations, constant stimulation, and the possibility of immediate financial gain or loss. For some individuals, repeated engagement in cryptocurrency trading evolves from investment activity into a compulsive behavioral pattern associated with significant psychological distress and functional impairment.
Cryptocurrency addiction is increasingly recognized as a form of behavioral addiction that shares clinical mechanisms with gambling disorder and other impulse-control conditions.
