Poll: Do You Think It Is Wrong to Call Things Like Gaming, Gambling and Facebook Addictions?
Question by Unlimited_Knowledge: Poll: Do you think it is wrong to call things like gaming, gambling and Facebook addictions?
where the “addiction” is purely psychological?
I think they should be called obsessions, as it is more accurate, and it differentiates between them and actual drug addictions, where the body develops a physical dependence for the addiction.
There is a difference between merely missing something and your body actually suffering physical damage from withdrawal, as happens with drug addictions.
