Selfie Obsession Disorder
If you are obsessed with taking selfies, chances are that you might have Selfitis. It is a genuine mental condition that makes a person feel compelled to constantly take photos and post them on social media. Selfies are a form of self-expression. People feel compelled to take selfies as it gives them a sense of validation. Other factors that play a major role are mood enhancement (feeling better while taking selfies), reinforcement from peers (garnering likes on social media), attention seeking and the need to fit in with one’s social group. The immediate pleasure and gratification that arises from taking selfies overrides any sense of caution that people need to take. If people find that they are unable to control their urge of taking selfies and are preoccupied with other associated aspects, they would benefit from counselling and consulting by psychiatrists and clinical psychologists.
