I sure hope not. That will just continue the erosion of freedoms in this country. If she tested negative for ebola I see no reason she should have been imprisoned (quarantined.) It's not like ebola is an airborne disease, there are reasons these outbreaks do not happen in the first world.

Do you know what symptoms and behaviors are present with bipolar disorder? Probably not since your definition is schizophrenia is incomplete at best.

Oh come on, this video is hilarious. I'm not going to say aTm's defense will be horrible again based off of one video, but that is a sorry example of physicality. Completely different levels of intensity are displayed and that's not debatable.
I was asking rhetorically. I'll stick to the DSM-5 for my understanding of psychological disorders.
So basically this...
the DSM-5 defines psychological disorder as behavioral, psychological, or biological dysfunctions that are unexpected in their cultural context and associated with present distress and impairment in functioning, or increased risk of suffering, death, pain, or impairment.

However I've never read anything about allergy of the body. Everything dealing with psychology is complicated, especially substance abuse.
quote:

Many problem drinkers come to AA but eventually claim it isn't "effective" because the fact is they are not real alcoholics to begin with.


Please define a "real alcoholic."
quote:

There really is no treatment that is all that effective.


Treating any form of substance abuse is challenging. As I posted earlier the problem is amplifyed with alcoholism due to the number of neuroreceptor systems alcohol affects. Sucessful treatment of opioid addiction is more likely than with alcohol.
Never have had any substance abuse issues.
Psychological dysfunction is the breakdown in cognitive, emotional, or behavioral funtion. A psychological dysfunction may be present when a person reacts unusually to a particular circumstance. However we must consider both the intensity and frequency of their reactions to classify their behavior as a dysfunction. An individual’s reaction must also include distress or impairment that also deviates from typical human responses. Varying cultures have their own unique customs, rituals, religious or spiritual beliefs, and appropriate standards of behavior. Behaviors within the same culture may also vary between sexes. Therefore it is essential to consider these cultural standards when determining the potential existence of a psychological disorder. Thus, the DSM-5 defines psychological disorder as behavioral, psychological, or biological dysfunctions that are unexpected in their cultural context and associated with present distress and impairment in functioning, or increased risk of suffering, death, pain, or impairment.


AA as a therapy has been widely dimissed as an effective treatment. An even bigger failure is one of its offshoots, Gamblers Anonymous, has a 70%-90% dropout rate.

ETA: Perhaps a better statement would havery been AA isn't as successful a treatment as once believed. In my opinoon there are better alternitives. LINK
Alcohol influences a number of neuroreceptor systems, which makes it difficult to study. Predisposition to the disorder seems to be likely, however psychology isn't a cut and dry as "nature vs nuture" would suggest. There is an integrated approach to the field which takes into account both psyiological and social infulences when researching the etiology of any disorder.

Happy 311 Day. Hearing Firewater in 2012 is probably my 311 Day highlight.

Pretty large area but St. Rose Tavern has a good shrimp Po boy, El Gato Negro has an Ormond location and Mabile's in Laplace does a good seafood muffaletta.
