This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

Anon is often crazy.
Anon is often depressed.
Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Gambling Disorder is recognized by the Diagnostic and Statistics Manual for Diagnosing Mental Disorders.

Porn Addiction is not.

Used to be they didn't recognize a whole lot of things we now realize are actual things. I would be a bit careful about considering it an absolute arbiter on the matter

While the World Health Organization's ICD-11 (2022) has recognized compulsive sexual behaviour disorder (CSBD) as an "impulsive control disorder",[1] CSBD is not an addiction,[2][3][4][5][6][7] and the American Psychiatric Association's DSM-5 (2013) and the DSM-5-TR (2022) do not classify compulsive pornography consumption as a mental disorder or a behavioral addiction.

It would make sense that a layman would call "impulsive control disorder" an "addiction".
