Of course it can be, a psychological one... Anything one feels is a need beyond the basics, food, water, clothing, housing etc can become an addiction. When one will harm or ignore other things to meet the need or continue in a pattern it can be called an addiction. When it supersedes all other considerations. When it becomes the total and complete focus of one's life it is considered an addiction. You did a very good job of discribing addiction in your post.
