What is the definition of a disease, and specifically a mental disease? Has scie!
Question: What is the definition of a disease, and specifically a mental disease!? Has science truly failed!?
I think this is the biggest failure of science and generally the world!. It is full of imperfections, even though religion is not a better alternative!.
But, what can you define as a disease; and what can you not!? First of all, we have to realize that all humans are different physically!. But they should be treated equally on moral basis, and on the basis of humanity (whether its gay ppl, straight ppl, women, old ppl; they should be treated equally on moral grounds)!.
Because people are different physically; they exhibit different behavior due to the chemistry of their body!. Here is where the tricky part comes!. What can you categorize as an illness/disease/disorder and what can you not!? This is the biggest failure of science: why do you need to categorize things into illnesses and non-illnesses!? It is clear you are letting your bias through!. Modern feminists define rape that is only committed by a man on a woman!. So there come the discrepancies!. Why can you not accept behavior that everyone's behavior is deviant from one another!. Why do we have to claim somethings are anomalies, and some are not!? I know pedophilia and rape is wrong, but can you categorize is as an illness/disease/disorder!? Do we have any proof that pedophilia and rape are not illnesses/diseases/disorders!? Is there any proof that homosexuality is not an illness/disease/disorder!? I dont think so!.
So why do we have to say that pedophilia and rape are done intentionally, when they could very well be 'illnesses'!. And how can we say homosexuality is not a disease/disorder when it could be!?
The fact is that these are faulty premises!. We cannot categorize things into illnesses/diseases/disorders!. Everyone is different from each other physically and psycologically!. That is the best way to deal with things!. Science cannot even come to a consensus when (at what time period) a child in a mother's womb is alive; or whether abortion is murder or not (after what stage)!. So i think science has failed in that aspect!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
I'm at uni doing a bachelor of health science and the definition of 'disease' is just a condition that has recognisable symptoms/effects especially treatable ones!.!.!. whereas non-treatable is typically called a syndrome!.
In response to your other topics!.!.!. they all fall into the 'grey' areas!. How do we know if something is right or wrong, ethical or not!? Is it opinion or intrinsical fact!? The fact is our society and all of its laws are built on certain peoples perceptions and beliefs and the only thing we can really do is look to God for the absolute truth and do the best we can along the way!. My biggest issue is psychologists and even GPs shoing medication in everyone's face!. Something may be a disease and they may have studied that disease but it doesn't mean they always get it right or treat it in a way that's appropriate!. Unfortunately drug companies are multi billion dollar industries and the health care INDUSTRY revolves around that now, rather than the healing of people!. It is true that greed and lust for money is the root of all evil!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

A disease impairs normal functioning of the person in question!. Then you ask: does being gay impair normal functioning!? Answer: No!. Homosexual individuals function normally!.!.!.that is not to say that there isn't the possibility of a chemical difference (gay from birth), but that does NOT impair function of the individual!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
there is no such thing as mental disease, some of us are just "wired" differently!.-blureyWww@Answer-Health@Com
I think you don't really know a lot about science and are making somewhat silly assumptions based on ignorance!. (Please remember, ignorance is not the same as stupidity; it just means you don't know anything about it!.)
Edit: Just like when people say there is no proof there ISN'T a god, you can't make a statement that there's no proof homosexuality is NOT a disorder!. You can't prove a negative!.
As for feminism, again, you don't get it!. There is a difference between being the same and being equal!. Nobody is saying men and women aren't physically different!. Duh!. Feminists want equality under the law!. I have no problem with having physical requirements for some jobs, like, say, firefighter!. If you can't meet those standards, you don't get the job, no matter what your gender is!. But it's wrong to bar anyone from having the chance to try based on gender!. Get it!?
My original assessment still stands: you really don't know what you're talking about!. Educate yourself a bit so you can make an intelligent argument!.
Edit: I can't answer your questions because they're stupid!. OK!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
