Ruth ... No disrespect intended, but, perhaps you should "get over 

it" and cease labelling every individual who for whatever reason, 

doesn't agree with your point of view, and, calling every individual 

who may have a "REAL" psychological disorder, a person who should 

simply "get over it"!



What gives you the right to question anyone's state of mind? Is your 

Ph.D. in psychiatric medicine, psychology, or anything having to do 

with the brain and its functions? Unless you have actually spoken to 

an individual who has a true fear, or, stress, and conducted the 

appropriate tests, and derived a diagnosis, based on science and 

data, and not simply a swift labelling the person as a "crazy" person 

.. who can't feel what they may truly fear .. then I say that you 

should refrain from making these outlandish statements as if they are 

fact, and leave the true diagnosis to those who actually are trained 

in making an accurate diagnosis.
