The new DSM 5 (and the old DSM-IV, for that matter) includes caffeine intoxication as a valid mental health diagnosis. The new version has also upped the ante, adding “caffeine withdrawal” and “caffeine use disorder” to the list. It’s worth noting, though, that the diagnosis criteria is based on a key point — do these behaviors significantly impact the patient’s ability to function in daily life. That’s, apparently, what makes a difference between everybody in America — sans Mormons — being a caffeine freak, and a few people having a problem. Of course, that distinction is also pretty subjective.
