Alcohol Abuse Disorder: Premises and Conclusion?

Question by : Premises and Conclusion?
many mental health practitioners are promoting the notion that alcohol abuse, drug abuse, over-eating, gambling, anorexia, bulimia and smoking are diseases. By using the disease model, its proponents believe that people are more apt to seek help because having an “illness” is more acceptable than having psychological or behavior disorder.

Best answer:

Answer by David Gallagher
If it is the true opinion of “its proponents [that] having an “illness” is more acceptable than having psychological or behavior disorder,” then there is no problem with this paragraph. It’s proponents have an opinion, and opinions are neither right nor wrong, except where you can argue against it. The purpose of this paragraph is not to argue, but to state the opinion of “the many mental health practitioners.”

The premises and the conclusion of those people are neither right, nor wrong, in the context of a simple explanation of their opinion.
