A habit worth watching

Here is how to read this profile. It is not a medical diagnosis — it is a map for deciding what comes next.

What this profile means

One of the four indicators is more marked than the others: frequency, consequences, hard stopping, or emotional function.

It is not yet the full picture of an addiction, but it is a warning light on one specific point.

A single elevated axis is not enough to conclude. The test maps tendencies; it does not diagnose.

You are not doomed for it to get worse. Many people act at this stage, before the costs pile up.

Note what pushed that indicator up: in which situations the habit returns, and why.

Read how addiction works through needs, not only through willpower.

A 45-minute call helps see whether a light framework is enough, or whether a more structured programme makes sense.
