Substance Abuse
The main question isn’t whether someone is or isn’t an alcoholic or drug addict. That question alone keeps people from getting support. Is the substance use related to problems in one’s life? If so, to what degree? And ultimately, what can be done about it? There’s a lot that can be done about it–even before labels and traditional treatments.
Eating Disorders
It’s easy to minimize and rationalize problems with eating, exercise and body image because “I don’t look like that.” This can be especially true with men. Also common with eating disorders is co-occurring substance abuse, often overlooked. One may improve while the other worsens. These must be addressed together.
Behavioral Addictions
Compulsive, problematic, a struggle to NOT do. Internet, gaming, sex/porn, gambling, exercise, shopping. “Addiction” is not the best framework to define all behaviors, nor are treatments the same. It’s important to have proper assessment from someone trained in co-occurring problems to rule out other potential disorders that can present similarly.
Athletes & Performance
It’s not disordered to be serious about athletics and performance, though many serious athletes have more all-or-nothing tendencies which can impede performance and lead to other more serious concerns. It’s easy to overlook potential problems until they’re real problems. Either way, it’s not just in the mind–it’s in the body.
