Procrastination can turn into a huge disorder for some, causing significant psychological disability and dysfunction.
One very prominent mental disorder is called Attention Deficit Disorder or ADD.
A person with ADD has a problem concentrating on doing something and it often results in poor concentration and inability to get something done all the way.
In really extreme cases, ADD or procrastination can cause a person to develop addictions such as internet addiction or computer addiction.
What happens is that this person will develop this compulsive urge by avoiding reality by surfing lots of websites one after another or play computer games non-stop. This is because of the availability of the Internet to allow instant gratification to the user.
Pornography addiction is also prominent as procrastinators always seek to avoid their jobs and get a quick fix. It works like Crack or Speed except it is online.
Most of these symptoms could be treated by psychiatric diagnoses or mental health professionals.
All these problems are linked closely with procrastination and it adds to the urgency of compulsive procrastinators to deal with their problem before it gets worse.
Example:
Matthew had ADD when he was very young. Instead of seeking treatment, his parents waited until he was very old until he couldn't integrate himself into society. Even if he went for treatment during his 20's he will have to make up for lost time to catch up.
Lesson: Don't be afraid to see a psychiatrist or a psychologist.
