That's a good point. Joanna Moncrieff says that when psych meds help people, we can look at it two different ways. First, we can take a disease-centered approach and say that the drugs correct an underlying disease process. Alternatively, we can take a drug-centered approach and say that the drug has effects on us which we may find beneficial.

The second makes more sense to me, and people have no doubt been using drugs this way since mankind began - ever since the first guy or gal found that chewing of the leaf of a particular plant made him or her feel happier or more energetic.

I'm sorry you're worried about your food. My son goes through that sometimes. He believes that when he orders a sandwich at a sandwich shop, the workers spit in it or throw it on the floor before they serve it to him. It doesn't seem to stop him from eating it, though.

I just thought of something. Maybe that's why he likes Subway and Jimmie John's. They make the sandwich right in front of you while you're watching.

One time he lost a huge amount of weight - about 30 pounds in a few months. I guess he virtually stopped eating. I'm still not sure why. He keeps giving different reasons. He told a couple of people it was because he was being poisoned, but now he insists that's not true. Shrug.
