Contents 1	Consistency of terms 2	== 2.1	Can someone appropriate please refine these sentences? 2.2	Merge 2.3	NPOV 2.4	Environment Antecedant Consistency of terms Reluctance to merge this article stems from a consideration of the following two lists of phrases:

1. "Chemical Addiction" "Drug Addiction" "Behavioral Addiction"

2. "Addictive Chemical" "Addictive Drug" "Addictive Behavior"

The terms in the first list describe addictions, whereas the second merely lists things an addict might utilize. There is an important difference, which was the genesis for this article. Not to sound like a grumpy English teacher, but "addiction" is the noun, and "behavioral" is the adjective. Respectfully, FriendNdeed (talk) 19:21, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

I went ahead and merged anyway because these articles had essentially the same content. Please discuss there whether the name should be changed to something more fitting.

Can someone appropriate please refine these sentences? Hi Although I think that the following two sentences written in the article are onto something important, I also think that they don't make very clear sense because they are not written very well. Can someone appropriate please refine them? The probably problematic sentences are below and in bold:

Many people, both psychology professionals and laypeople, now feel that there should be accommodation made to include psychological dependency on such things as gambling, food, sex, pornography, computers, video games, internet, work, exercise, spiritual obsession (as opposed to religious devotion), pain [1], cutting and shopping so these behaviors count as 'addictions' as well and cause guilt, shame, fear, hopelessness, failure, rejection, anxiety, or humiliation symptoms associated with, among other medical conditions, depression and epilepsy. ~Both psychology professionals and laypeople, now feel there should be accommodations made to include psychological dependency on gambling, sex, food, and etc.. Often these behavior traits can cause shame, fear, and guilt which would classify them into a addiction category. Therefore, they should fall in the same category as medical conditions such as depression and epilepsy where they can be treated.~ 17:00, 24 April 2021 (UTC)17:00, 24 April 2021 (UTC)

This sentence seems to be saying that many people feel that acts like gambling should be considered addictions and should cause us to feel "guilt, shame, fear, hopelessness, failure, rejection, anxiety, or humiliation" like it does to people suffering from depression and epilepsy.

[Second Opinion] Actually, the sentence specifies that it's a "psychological dependency" on those things that classifies them as addictions. And it's not implying that these things "should" cause "fear, hopelessness, etc," it's saying that a psychological dependency on these things DOES cause "fear, hopelessness, etc." The trouble is that it's worded awkwardly, and that it's a run-on sentence.

[third opinion] its the idea that people now want there to be a label put on those people that "gamble, work, exercise....ect" too much so that there is a sense of shame and fear for the consequences that might come from doing those things too much. the same health "fear" that comes from depression or epilepsy. ≈kylecook5088 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kylecook5088 (talk • contribs) 19:58, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

Although, the above mentioned are things or tasks which, when used or performed, do not fit into the traditional view of addiction and may be better defined as an obsessive–compulsive disorder, withdrawal symptoms are only possible upon abatement of such behaviors.

This sentence seems to be saying that withdrawal symptoms are only possible when one abates these types of behaviors. (well isn't that always the case with withdrawal symptoms?)

Excuse me if I am misunderstanding things. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wawawemn (talk • contribs) 08:20, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

I agree, those read rather awkwardly, and I also feel they may not be conveying the idea properly. I'm going to try to rewrite them.Legitimus (talk) 14:24, 20 March 2011 (UTC) Merge The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows. I'm going to take this as a proposal to merge Addictive behavior with Behavioral addiction, since those pages were tagged. There is no consensus to merge those. Discussion was open for over one day short of a year with no support. --JFH (talk) 21:54, 17 July 2013 (UTC) I recently re-wrote 'Addictive Behavior' in an effort to fix the editor's recommendations ie essay vs encyclopedia form; clean up references so they are not urls only; etc. In doing this I added some new info. While reviewing the 'Behavioral Addiction' page it appears that with little effort the pages can easily be combined. I understand the note from "FriendNdeed" however with perhaps a broader title the pages could be successfully merged. Is there a reason why we can't merge both 'behavior addiction' and 'addictive behavior' into 'addiction'? In fact, the page 'Addiction' already contains a sub heading 'Behavioral Addiction."AddictionPsychologistFrank (talk) 13:52, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

You know, why to merge these articles when they are different issues and completely separate, Yes of course they can be merged but I think there is no necessity for that, specially when in different articles reader can have more details about these issues. No necessity for merge, but yes it is possible, but being separated works better. last, I'm not sure about this, but this just my view, and my help, I do appreciate the decision which you guys made. Regards, KhabarNegar Talk 12:20, 5 July 2013 (UTC) Oppose, but may support merge with addiction. Behavioral addiction is a class of addiction (non-drug), while the addictive behavior article is on all addictive behaviors. I don't see the need for a separate article on addictive behaviors from the addiction article, but I'll leave it up to someone else to propose that. --JFH (talk) 21:54, 17 July 2013 (UTC) The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion. NPOV The style of writing in the paragraph introducing Goodman's work appears to not be encyclopedic (e.g. failure of neutral point of view). The wording as it stands appears to make the Wikipedia article take the point of view that Goodman's work supercedes or supplants the work of Carnes. Whether this is or is not the case, such a point of view must be attributed to a source rather than presented as original research or as something self-evident. If the source implied is Goodman's work itself, then the text should be written to reflect this. Otherwise the text is written in such a way as to give the appearance that there is a consensus viewpoint when perhaps there is not. If there is, there should be a citation to this effect. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.2.39.74 (talk) 03:41, 12 September 2013 (UTC)

Environment Antecedant Sometimes Depression is the Vector. (Or a Pschological State that requires the person to feel needed in a Group...eg. Alcohol Consumption ---> perporting to being better than the other) -> Addiction is lost when the member of society is valued in other environments.

This is easy stuff.
