Data on book Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorder suggests that caffeine can cause changes in mood and behavior. Not only that, caffeine also can interfere with the performance of, the work, as well as the ability to think in a certain period.
"People often do not think caffeine addiction as a bad addiction to drugs because of addiction to caffeine is not a very big impact like drugs. Nevertheless, coffee addiction can also be annoying and stubborn," said Rolan Griffiths of Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, as reported by U.S. News.
Some signs of caffeine addiction, among others, is when a person feels compelled to drink coffee to make them fresh bodies and to help them do something. Many people do not feel excited in the morning before they drink coffee. This is referred to Griffiths as one of the signs of caffeine addiction.

Coffee addiction will make you feel headache, dizziness, fatigue, depression, bad mood, anxiety, nausea, to vomiting, muscle pain, numbness, and even make you hard to concentrate.
For those who are sensitive to caffeine, these signs may even appear in a matter of hours and can last up to weekly. People who are highly dependent on coffee can feel more side effects than those who were not heavy coffee drinkers.
