Question: Is there such a thing as "a pathological need for affection"!?
And if there is, is it a component of a certain mental illness!? Is there a cognitive therapy to deal with it!?

Answers:
Yes, there is!. I have a cat with this mental disorder!. She has a constant need to hang on me and be with me!. The other ones act normal!. I've met a couple of guys that wanted my full attention every day and it was all I could do to get rid of them!. You can't tell your cat to get lost, but you can tell people that!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes, I'd say we all have a pathological need for affection!.

As far as treatment goes for people who are crippled with this need, I think that it is a person to person thing and the best place to start would be to determine the cause!. It's also most likely deeply rooted in a person's self esteem!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think there is and it stems form low self-esteem!. That's why need constant reassurance from others in the form of affection to help you cope with your lack of esteem!. Be yourself and stop trying to please everyone!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

yeah, well spoke, joe!. There probably is!. People who have it has probably gotten no affection when they were young or too much affection when they were young!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Probably yea!.

Pretty pathetic, isn't it !? Www@Answer-Health@Com
