Some clinicians prefer to conceptualize it within the framework of a disease model, like alcoholism or diabetes. I find it useful to consider dodependency as a behavioral health problem.


So far, no standard criteria have been devised to assess for co-dependency and there is no formal disorder listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual Of Mental Disorders. Nevertheless, there is a consistent pattern of traits and behaviors that is recognizable across individuals and that can create significant problems with relationships, eating disorders, addiction, alcoholism, and other self destructive or self-defeating behaviors.


If you are codependent, wouldn’t you like to see how it plays out? That way, you can be aware of it and do something about it. If someone else is labeling you as codependent, is there any truth to the matter? You decide for yourself but remember, denial is a big feature of co-dependency. Is there some way you could improve the quality of your life if you looked at some of your challenges through the lens of co-dependency? If you find you do have a problem, individual and or group therapy may be the solution for you.
