Taking Selfies Is A Mental Disorder

Taking ‘Selfies’ Is A Mental Disorder

Don’t worry. It’s covered under ObamaCare!

The American Psychiatric Association (APA) has officially confirmed what many people thought all along: taking selfies is a mental disorder.

The APA made this classification during its annual board of directors meeting in Chicago. The disorder is called selfitis, and is defined as the obsessive compulsive desire to take photos of one’s self  and post them on social media as a way to make up for the lack of self-esteem and to fill a gap in intimacy.

APA said there are three levels of the disorder:

  • 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

According to the APA, while there is currently no cure for the disorder, temporary treatment is available through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).  The other good news is that CBT is covered under Obamacare.

Joke Of The Day: Crazy Uncle Louie

Rubber ChickenA woman gives birth to twins, a girl and a boy.

Her husband isn’t there, and she doesn’t want to name them without him seeing them first. But the hospital insists that the babies must be named by the end of the day.

Crazy Uncle Louie overhears this and he names them (unbeknownst to the couple).

Later the husband arrives, and the happy couple are set to name the babies when a nurse informs them that Uncle Louie already took care of that.

“Oh no!” they cry. “He’s crazy and doesn’t know what he’s doing. What names did he pick?”

The nurse says, “Well, he named the girl Denise.”

“Whew, not bad. In fact, that’s nice.

And how about the boy?”

“Denephew.”
