Articles about Love Addiction
A few of these articles say that love addiction is not mentioned in the DSM IV. It is but under another name: erotomania. Erotomania refers to someone who falsely believes his or her PoA loves them in return.
Borderline Personality Disorder is mentioned in the DSM IV and this is what love addicts were called before the 80's
Attachment disorder is used a lot these days but it only refers to children between the ages of 1 -5 so it is more of an underlying issue.
Just remember that most labels in the psychiatric community refer to underlying personality disorders. This helps with recovery. But it is the addiction that has to be addressed first. This is why we have Love Addicts Anonymous.
