Right then. Disease it is.
Though bureaucracy treats other non-disease afflictions does it not?
I fail to see why this needs to be a disease for people to get treatment.is gambelling a disease?
how about use of mj?
other drugs?or just alchohol?
remember... broken legs aren't typically considered diseases (though they would seem to be diseases based on the dis-ease definition of disease)
if i'm feeling a bit uneasy, having a bad day, is that a disease too?
