Kjærleikssorg

Kjærleikssorg er ei kjensle ein kan ha når ein blir avvist, mister eller saknar den ein er forelska i.^[1] Forsking på biologien bak romantisk kjærleik har funne teikn på at dei tidlege stadia av intens romantisk kjærleik liknar på avhengnad, men akademikarar er ikkje samde om korleis kjærleiksavhengnad er definert.^[2]^[3] Kjærleikssorg er kjenneteikna av avhengnadsaktig lengt, depresjon og påtrengande tankar om eit kjærleiksobjekt.^[1]

[...] Unrequited love, erotic frustration and the craving for the beloved object manifest themselves in what is commonly referred to as lovesickness (see Tennov, 1998). This often depressive and melancholic state of mind is characterized by intrusive thinking and also has an addictive component."
