Don’t diseases manifest in the body or mind? In the case of addictions, isn’t it essentially a reaction to using drugs?
I understand addictions in the sense of preexisting mental illnesses like compulsive behaviors or genetic predispositions passed down in a family tree like alcoholism or schizophrenia.

The word disease is a clue. Disease means the body itself is in a state of “dis-ease,” rather than just the mind. Addiction causes physical changes in your brain which take substantial effort and often clinical treatment to overcome.
