Around 80 participants along with 12 faculty members participated in the event and the participants were engrossed and had many queries which were being cleared by the professor.

It can involve substances like drugs or alcohol, as well as activities like gambling or gaming. Treatment typically combines medical and behavioral approaches to address both the physical and psychological aspects of addiction. Support from healthcare professionals, therapy, and support groups is crucial for individuals in such cases, which was also discussed and contemplated upon during the lecture.
