need help[edit]

i have started this but i need help with the layout. i have taken it from my thesis simplified a lot. but maybe still too academical?

When bad things happen to people, they tend to be depressed. In case of a stroke, cancer and other severely life-threatening diseases, the blast comes "from within" and creates a big deal of anxiety and depression, with a severity depending on a million things of which none have anything to do with a mental disorder. Especially not a mental disorder entirely made up, pulled out of noses and voted for and against by the makers of the DSM in order to promote medication, which is more or less the sole purpose of the DSM - to monetize perfectly normal human conditions and reactions by conceptualizing, marketing and exploiting an ever skyrocketing number of "mental disorders" that allegedly need medication. Pretty much nothing of that is based on real science (but it has tricked real science to swallow the BS in many places), so the article can't really be "too academic" or something. It's just a new label for an already existing and well-known kind of human reaction and like all made-up BS, it does not have any encyclopedic value or meaning. Sorry, but IMHO the article should be deleted and the term should redirect to "disease mongering". --80.171.134.192 (talk) 11:14, 6 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
