Why is it that every affliction in this country is being turned into a disease?

You know what I'm talking about. If you drink too much, you're an alcoholic, so it's not your fault. If you're overweight, obesity is a disease, so that's not your fault, either. If a kid can't focus, he's got ADD. Come on, most kids can't focus on anything for too long. If you're an adult and you can't focus, then I'd say it's a problem. I heard this story on the news about chronic fatigue illness. So it sounds to me that laziness is now being pitched as a disease. Whatever happened to personal responsibility? Now I know that some people have obese parents and they can argue that it's hereditary. But that doesn't excuse the majority of overweight people. Most people are overweight from overeating. Many people drown their problems with alcohol instead of fixing them, and I sympathize with your problems, but there are real diseases out there. Just because someone is flawed, it doesn't mean they're bad people, but it also doesn't mean that they have a disease. Do you agree?
