LAST VIDEO Maybe (Maladaptive DayDreaming) (Level 1)

Sometimes people daydream for hours. They might make up stories and characters in their minds. This is called maladaptive daydreaming. It is not the same as normal daydreaming. Normal daydreaming is short and does not cause problems. Maladaptive daydreaming can make a person forget about real life. It can feel very real. Some people walk around, make faces, or act out scenes while they daydream. This happens because the mind wants to escape from difficult feelings. Imagination is not a bad thing. But too much daydreaming can be a sign of deeper emotional needs. The goal is to find a balance. People can learn to use their imagination in healthy ways. They can also get help if they need it. A real life with meaning is important.
