Take two aspirin and call your doc in the morning. Lately, I've noticed that Wired and other popular Internet magazines have picked up on IAD and insist it is a real disorder. It is not. Someone decided to loosely copy the symptoms of Gambling Addiction and called it IAD. Again, it is not a true, mental health disorder.

Is this a form of communication that will die off permanently? My name is Alessandro and I suffer from Invertigopius: A dizzying disorder within a degrading disorder. Impossible to detect or cure. 735769@blogcritics.org Mon, 28 Jul 2008 12:07:23 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/07/24/075832.php#comment-735071 @ mc - I think the reason I looked into IAD and wrote about it was because as soon as you even mention the word 'addiction', all sorts of panic buttons are pushed. It just is not a legitimate mental health disorder! @ bliffle - I think you're just as crazy as the rest of us! In that good way, of course! Thank you for your comments!

I was going to write a longer comment but I've gotta run and check out my auto forum, and then there's my RSS and craigslist and eBay for some shopping and some email I've gotts answer... 735059@blogcritics.org Thu, 24 Jul 2008 23:13:13 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/07/24/075832.php#comment-735045 Hello Theresa: I thoroughly enjoyed your article and found it to be thought provoking. Just because IAD exists does not mean a mental illness is lurking around somewhere. Or maybe it is or is not. Who knows. Only he knows and he is probably not going to tell or maybe she knows and she is not telling. We must be gender neutral, huh. mc 735045@blogcritics.org Thu, 24 Jul 2008 22:12:14 EDT
