For the person who called me a lazy brat...FYI I have two degrees and I work very hard in my studies. What I am working on DURING the 4th of July break is a take home project with 20 questions that require at least a 600 word response to each question. Plus, during my "vacation" I have to study for another major exam in human relations, work on another project for my case management class, and also work on a group sociology project. I'm working every day, and I think I am FAR from LAZY!

Put simply, and I could be wrong, Thomas Szasz believed essentially that mental illness was a socially define phenomenon. There really is no such thing as mental illness, it is defined by the culture in which a person is in. Therefore, psychiatric medication did not relieve any medical symptoms, it just makes people think more like the culture and is a form of cultural control, a form of restraint so to speak.
There is some credence to this notion. An Iranian acquaintance of mine told me he was working with Iranians diagnosed as depressed in the USA. He said American psychiatrists did not have much positive effect treating them because they did not realize that many of the symptoms they saw were common traits of Iranian men. Just a different way of looking and coping with the world.

many times YES many times NO. Pregnancy indicators are the equal as indicators of a interval coming so many times it is very rough to inform. tHE VERY BEST solution to realize is to attend until a interval is past due and do a hometest. I was once 7 weeks earlier than i discovered with my daughter I NEVER felt unwell pregnant sore boobs ANY SIGNS of being pregnant however, a + experiment. With this being pregnant earlier than my interval was once due i felt scorching, irriated, crampy, sore boobs, the whole lot smelled horrible. All being pregnant are differnt even supposing a females is having no indicators and a interval is past due it is pleasant to experiment.
