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.”

Question by : What is an “accidental overdose of prescription drugs”?
With all the autopsy reports that are published following celebrity deaths none has ever been released for comedian Greg Giraldo. Granted he was not very famous, having done just a few celebrity roasts on Cmedy Central. Nevertheless he was a sort of celebrity. When he died in September, 2010 in New Jersey, the media stated he died from an accidental overdose of prescription drugs. It was mentioned again and again that it was NOT a suicide attempt. Since Giraldo was discovered unconscipous and died five days later, never regaining consciousness, it seems like it could have been an attempt to hide a sucide to save embarrassment or other reasons.
