I have far less sympathy for those with self-inflicted disorders than for innocent victims. Those who become alcoholic, gamblers, over-eaters, gamers, and the like know they are making bad decisions and still choose to do it. Yes, help them, but make them pay for that help instead of taking it out of my tax dollars or my (now mandatory) insurance premiums.

And I just bet they have ideas about how to deal with it - more government and less freedom.

This is a fundamental problem with sharing the cost of healthcare with others. Some folks simply aren't responsible citizens.
A citizen should bear the costs of their own decisions.

Sorry...no sale! A disorder? When you're gambling "the house" *always* wins! With state lotteries for example for every million dollar winner there are 1000 people who lose their houses...lose their *marriages*...buying those foolish scratch tickets.
It only takes an IQ greater than 80 to know that gambling is foolish.

I’ve got one of these at home. He’d live his whole life in his little blinking world if I didn’t make him saddle up and go to work.

Excessive gaming is a disorder, but a boy that thinks he’s a girl? No problem!

But if Gaming takes over your butt stuffing fetish, you are a sick individual.. And don't wear a wig and panties while gaming if you're a guy either..
jeez, wheres all the taboo in life gone? mad max beyond the thunderdome had more common sense than these people.

Can they make Continual B1tch Disorder, Social Media Disorder, Selfie Disorder and Online Shopping Disorder ones too, if they are making everything into a disorder?

I’d start by adding “Perpetually Offended” disorder.

But gender confusion and same sex desire are perfectly normal. Not.

Yes. Every one of those is a disorder and should qualify for medicinal marijuana. Hangnails too.

How long before the media champions this perversion and forces society to accommodate these folks?
