Africa Hunting Disorder
A. Persistent and recurrent problematic Africa hunting behavior leading to clinically significant impairment or distress, as indicated by the individual exhibiting four (or more) of the following in a 12-month period:
1. Needs to go on African safaris of increasing cost, length, and/or danger in order to achieve the desired excitement.
2. Is restless or irritable when attempting to cut down or stop hunting in Africa.
3. Has made repeated unsuccessful efforts to control, cut back, or stop hunting in Africa.
4. Is often preoccupied with hunting in Africa (e.g., having persistent thoughts of reliving past safaris, designing trophy rooms, handicapping or planning the next venture, thinking of ways to get money with which to hunt).
5. Often hunts or daydreams about hunting when feeling distressed (e.g., helpless, guilty, anxious, depressed).
6. After an unsuccessful safari, often returns the next year to get even (“chasing” one’s losses).
7. Lies to conceal the extent of involvement with hunting in Africa, talking to others who hunt in Africa, or purchasing clothes, guns, or other goods that serve as reminders of hunting in Africa.
8. Has jeopardized other vacations and tasteful home decor because of hunting in Africa.
9. Relies on others to provide emotional support to relieve distress to loved ones caused by hunting in Africa.
B. The hunting behavior is not better explained by a mid-life crisis.
Specify if:
Episodic: Meeting diagnostic criteria at more than one time point, with symptoms subsiding between safaris for at least several months.
Persistent: Experiencing continuous symptoms, to meet diagnostic criteria for multiple years.
Specify if:
In early remission: After full criteria for Africa hunting disorder were previously met, none of the criteria for Africa hunting disorder have been met for at least 3 months but for less than 12 months.
In sustained remission: After full criteria for Africa hunting disorder were previously met, none of the criteria for Africa hunting disorder have been met during a period of 12 months or longer.
Specify current severity:
Mild: 4–5 criteria met.
Moderate: 6–7 criteria met.
