Physical addction is what science calls simply "addiction". "Mental addiction" or "psycological addiction" is a device to call addiction something that isn't, like "addiction to the Internet", "addiction to work" or "addiction to sex". Then you sell some snake oil to cure it. Edit: OK; downmod as much as you please. Psycological addition will still be bullshit. Instead of looking at Wikipedia, that sometimes has no other choice to reflect some idiotic homeopatetic or obviously biased opinions, check what others are saying right here.
