> Very unscientific. The idea of addiction to a screen is unsupported in the scientific literature and unsupported in the DSM V or updates. Literally in the DSM the only behavioral "addiction" is the grandfathered in "gambling disorder" which you will note is a disorder, not addiction. DSM isn't exactly a bible and it shouldn't be treated as such. Being transgender was considered a disease for a looong time, even being gay in a time long past. On the other side it took very long time for autism, ADHD and friends to be added. And on top of that it wasn't even recognizing gender-specific differences, although that began to change a few years ago. ADHD for example can present way differently in girls vs boys, even very old diseases like heart attacks can have vastly different indicators between men and women. Valid medical judgements should allow to recognize recent developments, it is to be expected that DSM and its various national equivalents (e.g. insurance medical coding systems) sometimes lag significantly behind what is considered to be the gold standard of evidence-based medicine.
