The Medicalization of Society by Peter Conrad

Peter Conrad's book, "Medicalization of Society: Transformation of Human Condition to Treatable Disease", some human condition that was thought to be normal before but now considered a medical problem . Conrad defines this change in the human problem as a "medical" disease as medical definition, research, diagnosis, and treatment. Specifically, Conrad, as a medically established age-related phenomenon, discussed specific symptoms such as ADHD in adults. Throughout the process, Conrad demonstrated how these problems are defined in medicine due to the current medical research and financing structure in the United States.

Twists and turns of human problems Not only does he provide repetition of his work and field but also a graphical framework for understanding and researching medical care with a view to the future development and the possibility of present discussion .

Social scientists usually want to explain rather than explaining social processes. Indeed, sociologist Peter Conrad, the father of medical theory, has said that the term medicine is valued neutrality more than once. In one of his recent books, he wrote: "Medicalization describes social processes such as globalization and secularization, but it does not mean that change is good or bad. In the term medicine, they are traditionally assuming that the process of naming is bad. In this article it is suggested that bioethics should not make such simple assumptions, but should try some complicated work by trying to distinguish between good and bad medical forms .
