Dear lybrate user. I can understand. Cannabis addiction comes under SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND ADDICTION. Deaddiction treatment is best suited for such addictions.

People with certain mental health conditions such as schizophrenia and obsessive-compulsive disorder may develop pica as a coping mechanism. Some people may even enjoy and crave the textures or flavors of certain nonfood items. In some cultures, eating clay is an accepted behavior. Treatment consult a psychologist. Take care.

Iron deficiency is a common cause of too few healthy red blood cells in the body (anaemia). In a pregnant woman, iron deficiency puts the baby at risk of developmental delays.
Fatigue is the most common symptom.
Treatment includes iron supplements and a focus on any underlying causes.

Dear lybrate-user. Thanks for the question. Internet addiction disorder, more commonly called problematic Internet use (PIU), refers to excessive Internet use that interferes with daily life. Whatsapp and facebook addiction comes under behavior addiction and to overcome that you need to undergo online behavior therapy. Take care.
