Let me rephrase it, are we diagnosing these disorders wrongly or are we heading towards a human population which has more people with disorders then not? Because 1 in 38 or 42 are scary numbers.
- maxerickson 10y agoIf the consequence is an effective remedy, what's bad about recognizing certain behavioral tendencies? It doesn't have to be the case that population genetics are the thing driving the change.
- GrumpyYoungMan 10y agoI don't think that's a meaningful question. One could go back a couple of centuries, before germ and virus theory was developed, and ask the same thing about physical illnesses. It would be more accurate IMO to say that we're getting a better understanding of traits and characteristics of the human mind, some of which we currently have reason to believe are disorders, and are getting better at detecting those traits/characteristics.
