And self-control is not psychological?

Self control is precisely the difference between really linking something and consuming a reasonable/healthy amount of it vs being addicted to it and overconsuming.
The disorder that you dropped from "psychological" is actually semantically important, you know.

If you were unable to get the hint from the other examples I gave, I'll be plain: you are terribly mistaken, addiction is a disorder of the brain.
What moral failing do you assume people with mood or anxiety disorders have?

Lack of self control can be described as a 'psychological disorder'. Also you completely avoided the actual question :) - maybe try answering it instead of playing semantics?
> I'll be plain: you are terribly mistaken, addiction is a disorder of the brain.
So you replaced 'phsycological disorder' with 'disorder of the brain'? That's supposed to make your point less pointless?
> What moral failing do you assume people with mood or anxiety disorders have?
Again, nowhere did I mention the word 'moral'. Try to address what I actually said instead of imagining strawmen in every comment.
> If you were unable to get the hint from the other examples I gave
No, I didn't get any 'hint' from your pointless examples. You see, I try to read what you said directly and respond directly, without any imagined 'hints', strawmen, or meaningless semantic games around vague and ambiguous terms.
