Answer: All children are all different, which does not mean they are diseased. If physicians, and this includes psychiatrists, find no physical abnormality on any exam or test, that child or person cannot be said to be diseased/abnormal. To let anyone label a child diseased/abnormal without a physical abnormality, and make a patient out of them is to inevitably do them grievous harm. Good luck, Fred A. Baughman Jr., MD
