And the sign said…

Is it just me, or does everybody have some sort of label? Anxiety disorder, sleep disorder, mood disorder, depression… Do you know anybody who doesn’t have something ‘wrong’ with them? Wait – correction: do you know anybody who doesn’t say they have something ‘wrong’ with them?

Let’s get one thing straight:

Mental disorders are real – very real. These problems require proper medical attention and the toll they take on both the suffering individual and their family/friends is at best stressful and at worst devastating. So let’s not get it twisted: just because Prayers and Apples supports holistic treatment (improved nutrition, increased physical activity, spiritual involvement) as a first choice measure, or combined treatment element, in addressing generalized anxiety and mood disorders does not mean that I think these disorders don’t exist, don’t need classified or aren’t as serious as they, in fact, truly are.

I don’t have a problem with diagnostic labels – I have a problem with everybody and their brother randomly passing them out!
