@ScriptFanix@actuallyautistic Here in the UK actual medical professionals don't use the word "addiction" because the meaning is too vague. People tell you you're addicted to slot machines, or TV, or computer games … it's just not a medical term.
Does she mean chemically dependant, like with heroin or tobacco?
It sounds to me like someone whose job description is X-er would have a vested interest in telling you you had X whether you did or not.
