- rickmode 12y agoI'm believe I'm asking a valid question. I read the article last night when it came up on /r/skeptic. The author describes a sort of adolescent addiction due to underdeveloped inhibitions of those who having reach their mid-20s. The thesis seems to say that some addictions are situational, like the distinction between a normal situational depression and a clinical depression (one that does not trace to a person's current life situation). To restate my question: is what the author describes actual an addiction? Perhaps only those addictions that don't resolve themselves are addictions. So instead of describe the situation as the author does -- some addictions resolve themselves -- perhaps the definition of addiction needs to be refined.
