Nobody at all in psychology says this. If somebody has told you that they have said this, then they are liars.
Toddlers can cry as much as they like, people can have as much sex as they like, and people can eat as little as they like. None of those things are mental disorders in themselves.
Median wrote:So if you're consistent, those who eat too much should also have a point where they are considered mentally ill. That is not a step forward in considering everyone who is not normal as mentally ill, it's just following the same logic that people in psychology have been using for years.
So if psychology is consistent (based on the corrections I made to your logic above), it won't consider someone who eats too much as being mentally ill.
