Psychologists believe that affective dependence (relational addiction to a person) is not a simple episode of the meanders of loving feelings, but a dangerous path to love dependence.
Attachment, excessive passion, and addiction to the other at the expense of self-esteem, fear of abandonment and permanent anxiety are the daily bread of all those who suffer from affective dependence. It has both a somatic nature, due to which physiological dependence on the partner develops, and a psychological nature, caused by the peculiarities of the emotional addict's psyche.
Emotional dependence is also an economic, social and personal problem that affects many people. It affects not only the health of emotional addicts, but also their destiny and that of those around them. It has repercussions on daily life and deteriorates social and even professional life.
