Yes, Thomas Szasz was right - all feelings become "disorders." This is where fiscal wheels come off Obamacare budget: Mental health/ illness will include "need for a vacation," those massive "HC" costs are then passed on to taxpayers. Taxpayer then becomes 'suicidal' due to loss of his private dollars. See the problem? Limited Govt. and voluntary Charity is the solution... get bureaucrats out of personal economic choices. This is not to say there aren't those true medically diagnosable conditions that affect behavior - e.g. those with neuro-chemical imbalances (Parkinsons) or genetically identifiable conditions (Autism). I am not talking about those; those are covered by health or long term care insurance, assuming you purchased those for yourself or your family.

Szasz is both right and wrong. Until his overview of behavioral matters reaches the domain of spiritual behavior he will only have an incomplete theory.
