If you have substandard vision and need glasses or contacts or even reading glasses, you are not stigmatized as "abnormal." Same with hearing Aids, cochlear implants ect. If a person with ADD or depression or anxiety needs drugs, or therapy, or lifestyle changes, that too shouldn't be stigmatizing.
I can see the analogy holding if it involved comfort or even caring confrontation enabling a sufferer to “see” the world in right perspective.
What is the "right" perspective? I have read hundreds of books on psychology and philosophy and I have no idea what that means.
Depends on the situation wouldn’t you think ? What would you do with, say, a paranoid person ? How about a person afraid to leave the house ? How about a person conveying suicidal thoughts ? Or would you just drug them ?
Or a way of exacerbating the problem. But taking a pill is certainly easier than the hard work of dehabituation-rehabituation or the hard work of helping with such.
