Are Drug-Alcohol Addictions a Diagnosed Mental Illness or Is It a Way of Life That May Involve Disorders?
Question by AnonymousGuy: Are drug-alcohol addictions a diagnosed mental illness or is it a way of life that may involve disorders?
I know different then normal sexual orientation and reactive attachment disorder are not in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders and so while psychologists look into them they are not a known mental illness. I wondered what alcohol and drug addictions are. I recently described alcoholism as largely out of ones control because it is a disease. Also is family member of a drug addict or alcohol considered a mental illness as I hear it is a family disease. It is not in my family so I don’t know alot about it but was asking someone who does have it in their family and recently saw their mother go sober after 15 years.

Question by Heather: Will the pain of the talking for methadone cold turkey ever end?
I I am on 7 day detox off methadone. I had .to go cold turkey because I moved from New York to Ohio. I’ve been on 150 milligrams for four years now and did not meet the transfer requirements for this clinic in Ohio. I had to move here because I lost my house during Hurricane sandy I had no other option but here. I have no help it’s horrible I do not suggest doing it cold turkey. but in the same breath I know it can be done cause I’m doing I have two children a.m. for the husband I can barely do I have to get a shower and a week and I can barely function but somehow I manage. my mom has been a support system for me my husband um had lung surgery so he had to stay behind I think getting into client we more right for out of state travel for natural disasters to help with the process. I didn’t have a choice I had to do it was no other option I took my last till April 22nd today table 29th hopefully today will be better than yesterday. I’m going through once and had diarrhea everyday but the pain in my back in my stomach is the worst. hindsight is always 20/20 I wish I never went on the methadone program but what can you do I had major surgery and lost my life about me that I had major surgery so I was on very high pain killers by the time I get home and didn’t have no more already too far into the opiate grip. I just wish I knew then what I know now and I would have never gotten a program or I would not want to live in 15 or grants for four years because a disaster like but I don’t have a choice so I got to keep on going to my kids especially they need a mother back.

Who Shall I Vote for in the US Presidential Election When I’ve Seen at Least One Fatal Flaw in Every Party?
Question by D Tommy Boy: Who shall I vote for in the US Presidential Election when I’ve seen at least one fatal flaw in every party?
Like the more to the left you are, the more you want Government to intervene in terms of including everybody in the country. Think Affirmative Action.
And the more to the right you are, the more you want Government to intervene in terms of including only AMERICANS into the country.
The only logical thing should be center, center left, or center right, but guess what? NO ONE’S IN CHARGE.
All of these are dangerous as far as I’m concerned, but you don’t run as an independent because there is no platform and there will most likely not be a matching party.
I myself love different cultures yet I don’t want them controlling my life as an “American.” It’s a paradox with me. I’m in a paradoxical black hole.
SO WHO IN THIS WHOLE ENTIRE PLANET SHALL I VOTE FOR? PLEASE HELP ME!
