How can one tell it's an addiction rather than...I dunno, an excuse?

Is it something that is actually a legitimate (legitimized by NIHM, or whomever is responsilbe for that kind of thing) diagnosis by a mental health professional?

If they were to say, get an injection of the chemicals produced by the brain that they were addicted to, could that help them to stop that behavior? Are folks with this problem reduced to relying on just will power?
