selfie b kamo??? Chicago, Illinois - The American Psychiatric Association (APA) has officially confirmed what many people thought all along: TAKING SELFIES IS A MENTAL DISORDER The APA made this classification during its annual board of directors meeting in Chicago. 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. APA said there are THREE LEVELS OF 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 According to the APA, while there is currently no cure for the disorder, temporary treatment is available through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). The other good news is that CBT is covered under Obamacare. This is unwelcome news for Makati City in the Philippines, especially for its mayor, Junjun Binay, son of the incumbent vice president. Makati was recently named selfie capital of the world by Time Magazine. The mayor even organized a ticker tape parade after his city was bestowed the rare honor. #Adobochronicles adobochronicles/2014/03/31/american-psychiatric-association-makes-it-official-selfie-a-mental-disorder/
