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.

What Is the Real Definition of an Alcoholic?

Question by Becca: What is the real definition of an alcoholic?
Just because I drink now and then, people call me an alcoholic. I thought the definition was someone who can’t give up drinking. I can.

If I can drink, but can stop whenever I want, am I an alcoholic?

If you’re not obssessed with drinking, and could swap it for orange juice when you wanted to, would you call that an alcoholic? Even though you still drink?

How Do I Find Out if My Doctor Is Writing Prescriptions Under My Name Illegally?

Question by eltelford: How do I find out if my doctor is writing prescriptions under my name illegally?
I suspect that an old physician of mine is writing drugs for himself under our family name. The delivery man for the pharmacist in that town told a friend of mine that he delivered something under my name to the doctor’s office. I haven’t used this physician in over three years. I have asked the pharmacy (which is the only pharmacy in that town) for information about anything filled under our names. I’m supposed to receive a list through the mail next week. I don’t know if they are going to be honest with me. The pharmacist and the physician are old buddies. Is there a third organization I could contact to get accurate information about how our names have been used by this doctor? He’s well known to have a prescription drug abuse problem in the past. That’s small towns for you….
