Addiction: Why Is It That We Always See the Medical World Constantly Labeling Common Activities as New “addictions”?
Question by David S: Why is it that we always see the medical world constantly labeling common activities as new “addictions”?
The way I see it, the medical world acts much like the media in the fact that they seek nearly as much attention using whatever they can come up with for a story.
They are always labeling common activities, calling them “addictions”.
You here it all the time. Internet addiction. Video game addiction. On Yahoo’s search page today they are spewing some story about sun tanning addiction.
A habit can be developed by anyone for anything that they like to do. Are you going to say I need counseling because I have an addiction to flying a model airplane or fishing?
I just think they more or less synthesize non-existent syndromes for ultimately, the money.
