You recognize that your AI use has become problematic. You want professional help. You look at your insurance policy. And you discover a gap that many people are now encountering: AI overuse is not a recognized diagnostic category.
The current situation
AI overuse does not appear in the DSM-5-TR (the current diagnostic manual used in the United States) or the ICD-11 (the WHO's international classification). This means there is no specific insurance code for it. The landscape may change as more attention is paid to technology-related compulsive behaviors.
Seeking professional support
If you feel that your AI use is causing problems in your life, speaking with a mental health professional is a reasonable step. Therapists experienced with technology-related issues can help you understand your patterns and develop healthier habits. A professional can help you determine what kind of support is most appropriate for your situation.
Looking ahead
As awareness grows, the conversation around AI overuse and compulsive technology use will likely continue to evolve. For now, the most important step is recognizing the problem and seeking support from a qualified professional who can guide you.
