Did You Ever Wonder Who Thought Up All These Mental Disorders?

Question by Katetrinity: Did you ever wonder who thought up all these mental disorders?
Everything has to have a label. A person says, “I feel rejected.” Do you have any idea of the hundreds of disorders that person could have? My brother said whatever! Oh, he must have bipolar. My friend lied to me. Oh, she must be a blah, blah. My child ran really fast. Oh, he has ADHD. My husband followed him. Oh, your husband has it too. Is it contagious?

Give me a break! STOP already!

I think your opinion is one I would have completely agreed with a year or so ago. Since then I’ve taken time to relax, sit back and really put some thought into it.

Though I agree with you that everyone is labelled and we live in this “sickly” world where everyone is troubled by their disorders, it doesn’t mean that some people don’t have them. It’s a sad situation, that the people who truly have problems can’t be helped because people who pretend to are in the way.

My girlfriend used to have problems with depression and went through cutting. She was going to kill herself but was admitted into the mental hospital and saved. This was before I knew her. She is one who was honestly depressed, these problems DO run in her family. The problem is, she wouldn’t have cut or come so close to death had it not been “cool” to be depressed (the new emo social group). That group made her blend in completely, as if she was some normal teenager.

So all-in-all, I think you are partially right. People are over-labelled, everyone is “messed up”. It does not, however, mean that people don’t have certain disorders or that a disorder is some bogus name that means nothing.
