It is official, taking selfies is a mental disorder! Deemed one of the most irritating habits of this generation, the American Psychiatric Association (APA) made this classification during its annual board of directors meeting in Chicago according to adobochronicles. They’ve decided to call the disorder 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 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.
