CMV: Obesity Should Be Treated As A Mental Disorder

Why the childish hostility? You're the one adding the stigma to mental illness, other people are - to borrow your way of argumentation - clearly more mature and accepting than you, and can discuss these issues without stigmatizing innocent patients. I already addressed the only part of your message actually relevant to discussion, which is: should obesity be diagnosed as a mental illness, which I agreed it should not, as it is a physical symptom.

And no, stigmas should not be considered when deciding whether an illness is mental or physical, as that is a science matter, and science deals in solid facts, not opinions. When diagnosing, maybe.

You're going out of your way to misrepresent the arguments put forth and attacking the arguers, so I'm done.
