I also believe that to be classed as an addiction, any such behavior should comprise a\u00a0number of key components,\u00a0including overriding preoccupation with the behavior, conflict with other activities and relationships, withdrawal symptoms when unable to engage in the activity, an increase in the behavior over time (tolerance), and use of the behavior to alter mood state. Other consequences such as feeling\u00a0out of control\u00a0with the behavior and cravings for the behavior are often present.
