‘Selfie’ a new vocabulary which describes the craze of young generation’s obsessive behavior of capturing own photo; is declared as a ‘disorder’ by the American Psychiatric Association.

The declaration came in their annual board of directors meeting in Chicago. They have named this disorder ‘Selfitis’. According to their definition, this is a compulsive obsession of taking photos of own self and posting them to different social media to make up the lack of self-esteem.

American Psychiatric AssociationThey have categorised this into three different degrees.

  • 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


APA failed to prescribe any cure for this disorder though. Temporary cure could be achieved through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
