By what authority

is what I meant. Being gay, innapropriate fear or whatever else. I'm just expressing my reservations about the industry in my usual oblique and irritating style.

Where does health end and illness begin?

In Traditional Chinese medicine there are observable patterns such that you can say 'I am spleen deficient' and you know when you say that that you are referring to a pattern of symptoms. I'm not sure that is the same as saying 'I have depression'. Clearly some people with depression are very ill and have a chemical imbalance (if that cuts any ice). When we understand these things biochemically it may be better.

I think the tendancy to embrace these labels makes me uneasy. Maybe that's what I'm trying to say.

Our suffering is our own, not for someone else to define. I wish I could think.
