How Is It Possible to Absolutely Categorize Alcoholim as a Disease and Not an Illness?

Question by denveryay: How is it possible to absolutely categorize Alcoholim as a disease and not an illness?
“Disease” is a very loosely defined term in many respects. There are multiple disorders, infenctions, and symptoms that can be typical of a definable disease. Also, a disease must have specific and constant cause(s), which in the case of Alcoholism is the CHOICE to drink ethyl-alcohol. The cause of the “disease” is the recurring and disregarding CHOICE to drink. A choice, however pathological or illogical, doesn’t seem to be appropriate as a cause or a condition of any disease. Despite the negative psychological, physiological, and other results of long-term alcohol abuse, it seems that it shouldn’t be classified as anything more than a treatable mental disorder.

Conservatives: What Do You Think the Things That the Occupy Movement Want to Change Are?

Question by Cameron: Conservatives: What do you think the things that the Occupy movement want to change are?
I would say that they’re trying to give more power to the middle and lower classes by protesting the economic mechanisms in our society that allow our richest rich to continually become richer at the expense of the poor. It’s very clearly documented that the middle class has been falling faster and faster into the lower class and that corporate profits have been doubling and tripling for some over the last 70 years.

Why Does the Whole Mental Health Industry Care More About Adjusting People to Society?

Question by NONAME: Why does the whole mental health industry care more about adjusting people to society?
than empowering people to rise above society. Sure, there are real mental disorders, like schizophrenia, drug addiction, depression, anxiety, Narcissism and psychopathy. They are not good for the sufferer, and personality disorders can be harmful to others. But I find that we make too many judgments about mental illness to stigmatize others, like psychiatrists are the deciders on what is okay and what is not, based solely on being an “authority”, or they label attributes not very popular, or against some cultural, religious or political ideology as insane. Like Defiant Personality disorder is just propaganda to stigmatize anyone who doesn’t do as they are told by some power hungry narcissist. Or just in general, they just function more on getting people to adapt to society, than to empower their clients to be able to control their lives. Its like a fish out of water, they are never going to have wellbeing in an environment, and its not like they can just cope.

Why Is Drug Addiction Considered a Disease?

Question by fraucarlson: Why is drug addiction considered a disease?
I have a psychological disorder I was born with and inherited. I have a hard time equating what I have as similar to a drug addiction. I didn’t choose my path. So can someone explain to me why it’s considered a disease?

Best answer:

Answer by KIM!!
I guess because addictions are mental disorders. When someone is addicted.to something they really cannot stop. Stopping means they suffer. It hurts them physically to be without their drug. Because their brain has been convinced that they NEED this drug, alcohol, or food to survive. But I certainly understand why you would be frustrated when you have a disease that you were born with.
