Salience: the behavior ultimately becomes the most important thing in the individual’s life, often to the exclusion of relationships and other activities; Mood modification: the behavior serves a coping function, typically involving an increase in neurotransmitters that either cause a “rush” or provide a numbing tranquilizing effect; Tolerance: over time, behavioral increases are required to create mood modification. This may include increases in time spent in the behavior, but also may include increases in intensity, risk, destructiveness, and the ego-dystonic nature of the behavior; Withdrawal: difficult feeling states (e.g., irritability, impatience, anxiety) or physical effects when the person is unable to engage in the behavior; Conflict: difficulties with relationships (including intrapsychic conflict), other activities (e.g., work, social life, hobbies), and subjective feelings of loss of control; Relapse: frequent return to patterns of excessive behavior, commonly to the most extreme patterns of the behavior after a period of control.
