Used to be they didn’t recognize a whole lot of things we now realize are actual things. I would be a bit careful about considering it an absolute arbiter on the matter
While the World Health Organization’s ICD-11 (2022) has recognized compulsive sexual behaviour disorder (CSBD) as an “impulsive control disorder”,[1] CSBD is not an addiction,[2][3][4][5][6][7] and the American Psychiatric Association’s DSM-5 (2013) and the DSM-5-TR (2022) do not classify compulsive pornography consumption as a mental disorder or a behavioral addiction.
It would make sense that a layman would call “impulsive control disorder” an “addiction”.
