Netizen: I am sending you this image. Is compulsive drinking of coffee a personality disorder? Is this a joke ... or there is some grain of truth in it?
Response: I tried to check the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual on Mental Disorders (DSM -5) and stated drinking coffee and caffeine use ... as a condition ... is still for further study.
But I believe the time will come when what you are asking might come true. For one caffeine affects personality and has some cognitive perks that include boosting alertness, energy, and feelings of well-being. Overuse of the substance has some side effects like troubled sleep, jitters, and irritability. Caffeine can cause sleep problems ... and lack of sleep affects mood.
Caffeine is a stimulant and it stimulates some chemicals in your brain causing dependence and speeding everything up ... ergo increasing and worsening anxiety.
There is such a thing as caffeine dependence - a condition of having dependence on caffeine - a CNS stimulant that is common in coffee, tea, cocoa, and yerba.
It is just a matter of time before experts might change their minds. For one excessive caffeine consumption (1~1.5 g/day) can cause caffeine poisoning (caffeinism), which includes symptoms such as anxiety, agitation, and insomnia.
