How do I know if I need help with a behavioral addiction?

You could go to the internet and do one of these 10-question or 20-question sort of assessments, and usually some of the better ones give a score not about black and white, are you or aren't you addicted, but rather about the severity of the addiction. So how does one know if they really need help? Again, it's how much help, what type of help. It might be very smart to consult a professional to get a reading of the degree in which they're involved in it, the consequences of the particular behavior they're involved with. All of these things affect what we would determine as they need help.
