Not all doctors agree on what addiction or dependency is. Traditionally, addiction has been defined as being possible only to a psychoactive substance (for example
alcohol,
tobacco and other
drugs) which ingested cross the
blood-brain barrier, altering the natural chemical behavior of the brain temporarily. However, "Studies on phenomenology, family history, and response to treatment suggest that
intermittent explosive disorder,
kleptomania,
pathological gambling,
pyromania, and
trichotillomania may be related to
mood disorders, alcohol and psychoactive
substance abuse, and
anxiety disorders (especially
obsessive-compulsive disorder).
[3]
It is generally accepted that addiction is a disease, a state of physiological or psychological dependence or devotion to something manifesting as a condition in which medically significant symptoms liable to have a damaging effect are present.
[4]
Many people, both psychology professionals and laypersons, now feel that there should be accommodation made to include psychological dependency on such things as
gambling,
food,
sex,
pornography,
computers,
waterfowling, work, exercise, cutting,
shopping, and
religion,
Hunting out of layout boats and blinds, So these behaviours count as diseases as well and don't cause
guilt,
shame,
fear,
hopelessness,
failure,
rejection,
anxiety, or
humiliation symptoms associated with, among other medical conditions,
depression[6],
epilepsy,
[7] and
hyperreligiosity.
[8] In depression related to religious addiction "The religious addict seeks to avoid pain and overcome shame by becoming involved in a belief system which offers security through its rigidity and its absolute values."
[9] While religion and spirituality may play a key role in psychotherapeutic support and recovery, it can also be a source of pain, guilt and exclusion, and religious themes may also play a negative role in psychopathology.
