Caffeine withdrawal may be recognized as a disorder
If you missed your morning coffee and now you have a headache and difficulty concentrating, you might be able to blame it on caffeine withdrawal. In general, the more caffeine consumed, the more severe withdrawal symptoms are likely to be, but as little as one standard cup of coffee a day can produce caffeine addiction, according to a Johns Hopkins study that reviewed over 170 years of caffeine withdrawal research.

Great website and blog. And to know that now caffeine is a problem too, well that’s just ducky ;-)

Wow– a disorder with a known quick, reliable, and inexpensive fix! Think it’s time for a cup ‘o joe.

How appropriate is it to take normal responses to life problems and characterize them as ‘disorders’. And the next step almost without exception is a drug to help you cope..

It is professionally unethical. Its a shame this site is supporting such processes
