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

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

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.

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.
