The labeling of every single human struggle and emotion as a "disorder" is starting to get ridiculous, in my opinion. Does anyone else find this frustrating?
I had to laugh at myself this morning. I had a hangnail and I chewed at it and ended up chewing on it until it made my finger bleed. Do I know have "hangnail aversion disorder"? Did I self harm? Oh wait, maybe I have OCD. Did I "disassociate" Ah I was too "depressed" to get off my *** and get the nail clipper?. Nah I just did a stupid thing and chewed on a hangnail.
Have a problem? Here take this magic pill and will fix you right up.
Im not saying that there are not people who are legitimately suffering and need meds to help them. I'm not rabidly anti med. And they have saved my life in a pinch. I'm questioning the need to stay on them for years or even forever. What i am saying is that i think we as a society are vastly over medicated and over labeled.
