Relationship disorders are conditions that lead to one of two general outcomes: difficulty establishing intimate relationships with others as well as an unhealthy focus on an actual or potential relationship partner. The first scenario revolves around a fear of intimacy and may include diagnosable symptoms of a condition called social anxiety disorder. The second scenario revolves around an addictive behavior commonly known as love addiction.
A current or potential intimate relationship can trigger significant feelings of anxiety in you or your loved one. In many cases, this anxiety also involves a fear of intimacy. For example, potential symptoms of this form of relationship disorder include:
In some cases, the anxiety associated with a fear of intimacy may also result from the presence of social anxiety disorder. This condition, which the American Psychiatric Association officially views as a diagnosable mental health issue, also leads to excessive feelings of anxiety in any social situation that could potentially result in critical judgment from others or embarrassment. If you have a social anxiety disorder, the list of symptoms you may experience when faced with embarrassment or judgment includes:
Symptoms that can occur outside of an embarrassing or judgmental situation include:
Crucially, the presence of social anxiety disorder can also interfere with your ability to establish or maintain an intimate relationship.
In the past, doctors and mental health experts believed that you could only become addicted to substances (i.e., drugs or alcohol). However, current research now indicates that you can also develop an addiction to harmful or dysfunctional behavior. The general term for this type of non-substance-based addiction is behavioral addiction. Love addiction is a relationship disorder that also falls within this larger category. A person affected by love addiction develops an unshakable focus on finding and keeping the “perfect” intimate partner. Instead of contributing to feelings of security and safety, this focus decreases the ability to function well in at least some aspects of daily life. While no one knows for sure why love addiction occurs, many affected individuals had an unstable or non-nurturing relationship with a parent during childhood. For example, potential symptoms of this behavioral condition include:
It’s important to note that many of these issues can occur in the context of a healthy relationship. However, in cases of love addiction, the listed problems become a relationship disorder that dominates and distorts daily life.
