This is a great article. I think the same argument could be made about many "disorders" that we see today - Autism Spectrum Disorder being another. One of my biggest beefs when we widen the definition of disease/disorder is that we really hurt those who truly have that disease/disorder. We minimize their struggles and water down services because they now must reach more people. If everyone is disabled, nobody is disabled. It is a scary trend!

I would like to point out a couple of typos. 1. Approximately paragraph #15, "no" should be "now" in the last sentence. 2. I think you meant "debilitating" rather than "delabidating".
