Are These Things Problem Behaviors or Diseases?

Asked by ItsAHabit (2302points) June 19th, 2010

Some parents harm their own children and then “dramatically rescue them” (often diagnosed as muncheimers syndrome or muncheimers by proxy), others gamble so heavily that they create severe financial problems for themselves and their families (often called gambling addiction), others drink so heavily that it causes serious problems (often diagnosed as alcoholism), others repeatedly engage in sex recklessly with large numbers of partners (sometimes diagnosed as sexual addiction), and the list goes on.

Are these all diseases? Are some of these diseases? Are none of these diseases?
