Description

A further discussion on how confusing moral labels with medical diagnoses damages both individuals and the democracy we strive to live in. Morally judging unhappiness, confusion, a host of normal human emotions and a wide number of problems people might have adjusting to a variety of life situations dehumanizes and demonizes them and not only creates the very conditions and behaviors being termed "mental illnesses and disorders" but also undermines people's abilities to participate as citizens of a democracy.
