I fully understand mental illness, having suffered myself. However, it seems strange that people would come onto a site to ask what is normal when all the replies seem to come from people with every so called condition known to man.
I just believe that people are all different and are entitled to their own little odd ways. However, a few doctors told me that if they give a patient a label then they're practically 'cured'. As dappled said, they feel a huge relief.
I'm not saying that people WANT to be ill but all these so-called experts obviously want us to be. We are keeping them employed and they are making their money from acquiring patients. A teacher told me recently that there is a scale for how autistic we are and everyone is apparently on it somewhere. I just think that psychologists and psychiatrists are too quick too label us all, and wonder how on earth previous generations managed to cope without this explosion of insecurity.
You know some people are really with some of these issues right? Also yes though I think most of the time these doctors just abuse their powers considering how often some of this stuff is misdiagnoses such as (ADD/ADHD) if that's really a legitimate issue.
ADHD, AS, OCD, bi-polar, anxiety syndrome...?
