Get the non-renewable resource mug.Marked by significant psychological distress, Clinical Renewal Withdrawal Syndrome (CRWS) is a generalized psychiatric disorder classified under the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) as an "Adjustment Disorder with Mixed Anxiety and Depressed Mood."
Overview:
CRWS occurs in persons with insatiable desires to play competitive video games online. These addicts usually play with a relatively consistent group of players or friends. CRWS occurs when a player loses a member of his/her group of typical teammates - leading to maladaptive behavior.
Symptoms:
Often the patient will exhibit agitated and aggressive behavior, involuntary finger compulsions and eye twitching (believed to be simulating that of gameplay), loss of appetite, and mental confusion. The later is believed to be a direct result of the loss of a leader figure. Consequently, it is not uncommon for a CRWS sufferer to become inappropriately attached to any person(s) viewed as an authority figure (e.g. law enforcement officers, teachers, coaches). Until recently, CRWS has not been observed in a clinical setting. Research done in early 2009 by Barry A. Kraiggen, M.D., Ph.D. showed that a decline in academic work is correlated with CRWS in a staggering 96.2% of cases.
Treatment/Prognosis
Further research is needed to confidently prescribe a definitive method of treatment for CRWS sufferers. However, independent trials are being run by Dr. Erin B. Olivander, and Jakob O. Keetings, Ed.D at the DEBO clinic. Initial findings suggest that the return of the sufferer to his/her game routine will immediately dissolve the condition. Pharmaceuticals (including: benzodiazepines, SSRIs, and atypical antidepressants) are found to be less than optimal in reducing anxiety in CRWS patients (with the exception of mirtazapine). The research being done at the DEBO clinic is still in its infancy stages, and additional material on the subject will likely not be released until the spring of 2010.

Get the Clinical Renewal Withdrawal Syndrome (CRWS) mug.You know how there's non-renewable energy sources. Well, this is the exact same thing, but in the entertainment field.
It's when something (movie, TV show, etc.) becomes "unwatchable" after you've seen it a couple of times.
There are many factors that could affect it. Cast of characters, number of seasons, story, philosophy, etc.

Get the Non-renewable entertainment source mug.About the same as gentrification, where a group of people think they're doing a good job on something, and think that the people from the area think they're doing a good job on something, and that they should be grateful, when really they're fucking it up/destroying it forever.
The black guy lost his entire neighborhood he grew up in while the news said the area was seeing new life and how great it was for everybody that new construction was there. Gentrification and urban renewal seems far more racist than any slur or insult (when you think about the disregard a developer has for whether the people from an area even want something built there), but for some reason people are told it is acceptable to do it.

Someone usually cheats on their spouse or significant other with a renewer and get feelings for this person. Relizing that they better stop cheating with this person or they might (or just want to) leave their spouse/significant other they end everything with the renewer.
