Soft addictions are recurring mood-driven or compulsive behaviors - like excessive gaming, social media use, or nail-biting - that can sap time and wellbeing. They're not a formal clinical term, but many are treated as behavioral addictions; practical steps - limits, CBT, and family-focused change - can reduce harm.
Soft Addictions
Menopause Night Sweats
Night sweats are a common vasomotor symptom of perimenopause and menopause. Practical steps (cool bedroom, breathable bedding, trigger avoidance) plus medical options (hormone therapy and non-hormonal prescriptions) can reduce severity and improve sleep.
Adolescent Mental Health
Adolescence brings major change and risk for mood disorders and self-harm. Recognize common risk factors and warning signs, ask directly when worried, remove means of harm, and connect teens with school or medical support. In the U.S., call or text 988 for 24/7 crisis help.
Anxiety And Night Sweats
Night sweats with anxiety are common and treatable. Learn causes, practical self-care, when to see a clinician, and evidence-based treatment options.
