We've talked about sex addiction here on Vitamin G, but I bet you didn't know that one could have an addiction to ... love. Yep, what sort of sounds like a good thing can actually morph into a serious affliction, says one health expert. Could you be addicted to love?
On the Oprah Show yesterday, TV M.D. Dr. Drew discussed the world of love addiction, where people become obsessed with ... that loving feeling. It's not always about sex, but rather the kissing and the snuggling and the attention from a partner--to the point that it becomes a constant need.
One woman, "Amber," joined him on Oprah's couch, where she confessed her struggle with love addiction (and simultaneously scared away all future dates for the next century). She talked about meeting a guy when she was 19 and staying obsessed with him for 12 years.
