Summary:
CYTAD is a Medically Unrecognized Disorder wherein one experiences lifelong over-attachment to one or more Youtubers. This disorder is similar to Parasocialism Disorders, however it differs in several important ways.
Terminology:
One with this disorder may call themself "YouTuber Attached," "Cytadic," or simply "a Cytad" (Pronounced "Kite-Add-ick" & "Kite-Add" respectively.)
They may call their Chosen YouTuber(s) their "CYT," pronounced (or alternately spelled) like "Kite." (Plural form: CYTs, or Kites.)
Glossary:
(noun.) Cytad — One who has Chronic YouTuber Attachment Disorder.
(adjective.) Cytadic — to have CYTAD, to be a Cytad.
(noun.) CYT aka Kite — a YouTuber one with CYTAD is attached to. Exclusive to those with this MUD or TransCYTADs.
(noun.) TransCYTAD(ic) — to desire, identify with, or be transitioning to have CYTAD.
Differential Diagnosis:
While CYTAD shares some symptoms with, for example, Parasocial Personality Disorder (PASPD), they differ quite a bit in the behavior displayed. Those with PASPD feel a closeness or relationship exists or is needs to happen with someone whom they do not actually know. Those with CYTAD do not feel this way. The form attachment they display towords their chosen Youtuber is more like an addiction.
CYTAD can lead to internet addiction, along with other dependencies & addictions in times where no new content has been posted lately.
Understanding the Disorder:
Those with CYTAD begin to feel withdrawal symptoms (anxiety, depression, spiraling, cravings, etc.) when they don't partake in their Chosen Youtuber's content for too long.
Time until withdrawal starts can vary depending on the individual being's personal threshold, but usually it begins sometime after 2 or 3 days have passed without partaking in their CYT's content.
Withdrawal can be managed through distractions and thought intensive activities, however, as this is a chronic disorder, one cannot "cure" their addiction, only manage it. (As such this disorder is not classified as an addiction, and instead as an Attachment Disorder, despite the addiction-like symptoms.)
CYTAD is often related to issues recognizing boundaries (e.g. "needing" to know when the next video will be uploaded, desiring to know their CYT's personal life, Stalker-like behaviors, etc.) and this must be managed somehow, lest they harm either themself or their CYT(s) with these behaviors.
While Cytads do not see themself as closer to their CYT than they are, they may still desire such a relationship. This varies from being to being, however.
Development of CYTAD:
The reason CYTAD develops is largely unknown, however it is likely related to social anxiety, (C-)PTSD, Cluster A personality disorders, adhd, and autism. Having one or more of these conditions makes you much more likely to develop CYTAD.
