ASSIGNMENT
What is the medicalization of deviance? Describe one of your behaviors or ways of thinking that might be seen as deviant (e.g., eating too much or too little, worrying over your physical appearance, becoming very anxious before tests, drinking alcohol to the point of illness, difficulty making and keeping friends, procrastination, laziness). Do you consider this a “condition” in need of treatment? Would an observer consider it an illness or a disorder in need of expert attention? Explain your answers.
