then why are you asking this inane circle jerkimg question? the answer is Trump and it’s not even close. and it’s kind of sour to be bringing this shit up while he is disappearing ppls loved ones in the streets daily.
after trump it’s dubya and after him it’s not even close, doesn’t matter. maybe asking who is third would be an interesting historical question but this just feels rude right now

Sure but then you only waste your time.
not true at all. you can absolutely fuck up your social life and work life by paying free games. you can fuck up your medical life too. easily meeting criteria for gaming disorder mild severity without ever spending a dime

well said thank you. you might enjoy some of my replies to them. idk how to tag on lemmy or id have
- Comment on Anon is not satisfied 4 weeks ago:
here’s a quick cheat sheet of current DSM criteria for a SUD:
spoiler
1 increased amt used
2 desire/failure to reduce use
3 lots of time spent on it
4 cravings for it
5 life obligations unmet
6 social relationships disrupted
7 reduction in recreational activities
8 use even in dangerous situations
9 use despite medical risk
10 building tolerance
11 experiences withdrawal
you need at least 2 to meet mild criteria (very easy to meet mild!) and 6 or more to be considered severe
so let’s look at oxygen addiction:
we dont increase our use over time, we have no desire or failure to reduce use (even if suicidal it’s not about the oxygen), oxygen requires very little time to get, we generally dont crave it cuz we always got it and without it there are no cravings anyway, it doesnt disrupt obligations, doesnt impact relationships, doesnt impact recreation, we don’t put ourselves in dangerous situations just to use it, there’s no medical risk to consuming it, and we do not build tolerance. we DO experience w/d. so 1 out of 11 aint cuttin it, sorry!!

addictions counselor here, can confirm Rooskie91 has a pretty accurate response
I’m guessing where you get caught up is in the fact that it’s a behavioral addiction , right?
well the medical community isn’t far off. gambling disorder is only now just starting to become recognized as an addiction. there’s trouble too, because “addiction” isn’t an appropriate medical term anymore – it’s “substance use disorder” which encompasses a much wider range of problematic behaviors. and yet! if someone comes in with primary Dx Gambling Disorder, we can’t bill that as SUD services because it’s technically not a substance lol
behavioral addictions are very similar in how they work and how they’re treated. tbh the main difference is just the lack of risk from acute intoxication / withdrawal. gambling disorder can and does completely ruin lives.

hey you were close, sounds like you remembered something
- Comment on Anon's grandpa does his own research 4 weeks ago:
that we know of! the trouble with delusional disorder is that is by definition presents without many of the troublesome characteristics of schizophrenia. and delusions, by definition, persist in the face of evidence, so insight is generally lacking. in other words, we could hypothesize that most cases of delusional disorder are never reported!
- Comment on Anon's grandpa does his own research 4 weeks ago:
nope! either/or. usually has both delusions and hallucinations but as long as there’s at least one
and with minimal insights, they may not perceive the voices as hallucinations. to them it might be a broadcast or just a noise or something

Excuse me, NO, this is deadly medical misinfo. Detox is individualized, first and foremost. We don’t know what an individual patient is going to experience when they detox or what complications they could have.
Furthermore, we have no idea what this person is drinking in a day. All we know is that they’re having two to four times the alcohol than the average person drinks when they get sent to detox while drinking in the mornings before their appts with me. 4 just to get to baseline is indicative of severe use disorder, though we cant tell without more info.
- Comment on Anon's grandpa does his own research 4 weeks ago:
cant dx schizophrenia without more info. all we can identify is a few reported symptoms from a third party. the secret messages are called Loose Associations and that with the persistence of belief in the face of evidence to the contrary indicates a delusional belief, but those can occur in several psychotic disorders. for schizophrenia we’d at least need to confirm bizarre motor activity, disorganized speech, and perhaps some negative (withdrawing) symptoms
- Comment on Anon's grandpa does his own research 4 weeks ago:
not schizophrenia, but a psychotic disorder. possibly delusional disorder if no other symptoms are met. schizophrenia has several criteria that must be met beyond delusions
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
yep. 4 drinks sounds quite severe too. when the body shakes the morning after drinking, it can be a sign that your body is no longer able to function without alcohol.
detox will need to be medically managed at that point as cold turkey is now life threatening; quitting drinking will seem impossible and yet has now become more urgent than ever
