Here's another thing that it is so stupid that it makes me laugh. People who refuse and/or don't want to take medications, there's a name for that also ...
It's called "Non-compliance with Treatment Disorder."
The DSM's Ridiculous Labels
I mean, it's just funny how such perfectly normal and healthy behaviors get categorized and labelled as mental disorders. Even one's choice to refuse professional help or medical treatment is deemed to be a symptom of a mental "disorder." And such labels can be thrown around too easily and vaguely without even requiring any scientific methods of validation behind them.
That is ludicrous.

Quote:You people are in serious denial. As a matter of fact, your unwillingness to seek professional help is itself a symptom of a serious mental problem. It’s right here in this book: 15.81 "Noncompliance with Treatment Disorder.”
