im mentally ill - are you?

Whoa that's heavy! And you thought that spending ten hours a day online was a harmless pursuit? Hmm, well perhaps not.

An American Journal of Psychiatry editorial suggests that Internet addiction, defined as "excessive gaming, sexual pre-occupations and e-mail/text messaging", is a common compulsive-impulsive disorder which should be added to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders publication, psychology's official dictionary of mental illnesses

Psychology can be so full of shit at times..

Why not come up with a new disorder for watching TV shows or socializing down the pub.

Fucking joke.
Everything that differs from an A4 life has a diagnosis. Too bad for those who actually HAS a problem, as stuff like this just makes psychology look like a joke and eventually discarded..
