It is understandable to be skeptical of an increasing medicalized world, but a society-wide “fixing our lifestyles” isn’t an answer for people who need treatment now. For example, prolonged screen use is linked to myopia. Would it make sense to say “glasses are a panacea, but the real question is: is the world ready to rethink computer-based careers?” Sure, maybe it would be better for our health if we all were on our computers a lot less, and there are probably deep-rooted societal problems at the root of our health issues, but… I need glasses.
