mental illness DD:

Lol did anyone know that love sickness is a mental illness??

Love sickness has historically been viewed as a mental illness brought on by the intense changes associated with falling in love.
Principal symtom and cause: Obsession
People who find the feeling of love too intense may experience "love sickness," with feelings of anxiety and can have symptoms of mania, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), inflated self esteem and depression.

Obsessive love: a form of love where one person is emotionally obsessed with another.

Forward and Buck believe that rejection is the trigger of obsessive love. They state four conditions to help identify it, namely, a painful and all-consuming preoccupation with a real or wished-for lover, an insatiable longing either to possess or be possessed by the target of their obsession, rejection by or physical and/or emotional unavailability of their target, and being driven to behave in self-defeating ways by this rejection or unavailability.
Obsessive lovers believe that only the person they fixate on can make them feel happy and fulfilled.
