If the medical model helps you... then great. But I mean help to live... not help not to have a life and just feel better about it. I see too many people being held back by "I am ill" thinking.

Venus, I read this AFTER I just got done blasting you, and now I retract the tone of my previous post. I'm sorry. I think this topic is a
Berserk Button for both of us.
Yes, you're very right that people fall back on "I can't help it; I'm handicapped" as an excuse not to try to improve their lives. And that makes me just as sick as "there's nothing wrong with you; just choose to be happy" does.
