Can someone be addicted to music?

Unlikely: Many love music and listen to it so frequently that it might seem light an addiction. But the withdrawal from music is a longing rather than a sequence of physical reactions of the body.

As a part-time: Musician and full-time doctor, i enjoy music too. But, i'm not aware of a strong love for music meeting the technical definitions of "addiction". Maybe our psychiatrist friends on this site can chime in!

Not likely: Music can elevate Dopamine levels and you may receive great pleasure, but true addictions involve things like developing tolerance and the need for more, physical and psychological dependence to continue to function, and dysfunctional seeking behaviors. If you find it difficult to function without music, it may be more of an ocd condition. Most people, however, just find it a great escape.

Interesting question: The idea of true "addiction" involves using more of a substance or doing more of a behavior intended, despite clear negative effects on health or aspects of life like relationships, work, school, etc. Do you abdicate important responsibilities like being a parent or spouse, in favor of music? Music can be a very nice part of life. Can be used to "tune out" others too, if headphones always on.
