In other words, as with AA, addicts and alcoholics never get better, but must rely on these groups, experts and medications to function.
Eugenics asserts that all men must be so stupid that they cannot manage their own affairs; and also so clever that they can manage each other's. G.K. Chesterton

The more things classified as a disease the better for the disease treaters. Think of the money to be made treating fatties now that it is a disease instead of one of the seven deadly sins. The lab coat clerics don't lack imagination in what will classify as a new disease and if obesity can be classified as a disease so can life.
