Sez youse, eh 7:45? And your expert credentials are...?

I ain't buying.

Simply put, the current scientific research on the brain and addiction doesn't support the contention of most people in this thread, that anger is perceived in the brain as an addictive stimulus, like it shows with cocaine, nicotine, etc.

Even the so-called "gambling addiction" hypothese has been debunked.

So like I said, I consider the claim to be about as legitimate as any of the popular beliefs about these "psychology" claims out there.

Too much Oprah and Dr Phil.
