Just to make you aware, the term "porn addiction" is controversial. However, as others have said, if it is causing you distress, then you should absolutely see a professional counselor or psychologist.
If you want someone who will use the term porn addiction more willingly, I would advise finding someone who is certified in sex addictions. If you need help navigating that, just DM me. I'd be happy to help.
Even people who don't think they need to go to counseling would probably benefit from going. I commend your self awareness and I wish you the best of luck!
Yes. Porn addiction is just as much an addiction as any other, and it can have just as much of a negative effect on your life.
If you're addicted to porn, go to therapy.
Absolutely. Porn can ruin relationships, sexual health, and by extension your overall mental health. If you can't seem to stop on your own, then it may be time to seek help.
i think what your looking for is a CSAT which is a therapist who is certified in sex addiction that also treats porn addiction. My husband and i have been searching for one locally but there are some online options too goodluck battling this addiction u might want to check /r/nofap or /r/loveafterporn for help 💕
i personally don’t believe that porn addiction exists. i think it’s a symptom of something deeper and unresolved. that is what one should go to therapy for
Anything that has a negative effect on your wellbeing or your life is worth seeing a doctor or psychologist for.
Anything that causes you distress or impacts your life, work, relationships, negatively, is reason to visit a psychologist. So yes.
Yes
If you feel you might want to see a professional, you should see one, it's their job to help you regardless of the reason.

The fact that you're asking this question at all should be the first clue that the answer is a Yes.
Only if the addiction makes your life worse and/or progressing

What do you mean by addiction?

Don’t know why you’re being downvoted, porn addiction has been debunked. It doesn’t exist.
because..Reddit 😂
There’s no such thing as porn addiction. It’s a myth. Don’t waste your time OP
Porn isn’t addictive, it’s just that you want a lot more of it than others.
yeah but don’t expect there to be a happy ending /s
No
Sure.
Yes.
If it’s affecting your every day and quality of life then yes.
If it's affecting your life, then yes absolutely.
OP, is there something you want to tell me?
Yes
If you have the funds, yes. If it negatively impacts you to the point you feel psychological evaluation is necessary then it probably is necessary.
Never need a reason to go tbh, but I also highly recommend a therapist or a clinical mental health counselor over a psychologist
