Psychologizing or pathologizing, as some call it, turns routine experiences and feelings into abnormal conditions. Anxiety, apprehension, fear, sadness and doubt are typically part of life’s experience. Some become anxious when they ride an elevator or fly in a plane; others when they have to speak before a large group of people. Some may become fearful when driving in city traffic; others are fearful of the dark. While all of these may be annoying emotions and disturbing feelings and may disrupt life, they are, nevertheless, typical human experiences. However, to a psychologist being anxious means something more. It means “having anxiety” or “having an anxiety disorder.”
The mental health industry takes authentic victims of accidents, abuse, neglect, etc., and manipulates them into believing they are damaged and sick people. Traumatic life experience is turned into an ongoing emotional problem.
