It's Official, Taking Selfie Is A Mental Disorder.. by hadura29(m): 7:11pm On Jun 13, 2015
The American Psychiatric Association (APA) has officially confirmed what many people thought all along: taking ‘selfies’ is a mental disorder.

The disorder is called selfitis, and is defined as the obsessive compulsive desire to take photos of one’s self and post them on social media as a way to make up for the lack of self-esteem and to fill a gap in intimacy.

According to this site, there are three levels of the disorder:

Borderline selfitis : taking photos of one’s self at least three times a day but not posting them on social media
Acute selfitis: taking photos of one’s self at least three times a day and posting each of the photos on social media
Chronic selfitis: Uncontrollable urge to take photos of one’s self round the clock and posting the photos on social media more than six times a day
The other good news is that CBT is covered under Obamacare.


But does our own healthcare system covers it?

Yes I guess, yaba left!!!!! tongue

Well we are doomed.
Very soon the internet will be filled up.
More than 80% of pictures and videos in the cloud now come from about 2-3 years ago.
