Question 2

my sister was diagnosed with procrastination addiction. what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

No such conditon: I have not come across this term and is not a recognized diagnosis by dsm-iv-r standards. What might have happened in your sister's case is that whoever "diagnosed" this condition may have just mentioned this term in passing. The symptom of "procrastination" is more prevalent in those who have an attention deficit disorder, but is not an "addiction" to my knowledge!

Could be anything: Getting "high" usually includes a sense of euphoria and decreased inhibition. The symptoms you describe could be from abuse of almost anything or even represent an underlying medical or psychological condition. Have you talked to her about getting help?

More cutting.: Cutting stimulates the production of endorphins -- opioid-like substances the body produces to manage pain. It can be addictive.

Treat like an addiction and stop.
