Are You Normal?

It is past time that we rethink what we mean by the words normal and abnormal as those words apply to the mental and emotional states and behaviors of human beings. Indeed, it is a real question as to whether those words can be sensibly used at all, given their tremendous baggage and built-in biases and the general confusion they create.This is not an idle question without real-world consequences. The treatment of every single mental disorder that mental health professionals diagnose, from depression and attention deficit disorder on through schizophrenia, flows from how society construes normal and abnormal.
