Psychiatry wants to add internet addiction to the DSM and make it an
official mental disorder. They want to add chatting, sexy girls and
video games as types of addiction. For more go to

Yes, please destroy psychiatry so people can be treated with a plastic
toy and obey every word of a con-man's incoherent ramblings.

I actually agree. Just because it's not a drug doesn't mean it is not
addictive.
Anything has to potential to be addictive.

I agree as well. About 6 months ago I would spend up to 12 hours a day
on line, basically the whole time I was awake and perhaps wouldn't
even stop to eat. At the time I didn't see it as a problem, but now I
can see how it was just taking over everything. I guess it was a form
of escapism, trying to cover the fact that I actually have no real
life....pretty sad really.

Yeah my roomate is addicted to a video game..having seen someone be so
obsessed with it, I think it is indeed a form of addiction-disorder.
