Question

In the case of sickness, the process of __________ deviance is constituted through the act of diagnosis wherein doctors engage in a process of classification through which people are either labelled ill (deviant from the 'norm') or healthy, whereas __________ deviance represents the illness experience. Match the words, in order to the sentences, as best you can.

Answer 1

In cases of sickness, 'medicalization' deviance is enacted through diagnosis, leading to labels of ill or healthy, while 'illness' deviance is about the personal experience of being sick. 'Medicalization' turns 'bad' behavior into 'sick' behavior; 'demedicalization' normalizes it again. Depression serves as an example with both medically and socially constructed elements.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the case of sickness, the process of medicalization deviance is constituted through the act of diagnosis wherein doctors engage in a process of classification through which people are either labelled ill (deviant from the 'norm') or healthy, whereas illness deviance represents the illness experience. Medicalization refers to the process that changes 'bad' behavior into 'sick' behavior, often involving a shift in perception and management from moral and legal realms into the medical domain. Conversely, demedicalization is the process through which 'sick' behavior is normalized again, and it can reverse the trend set by medicalization.

To further illustrate this, let's consider depression as a common illness. The medically constructed parts of depression include the identified symptoms such as persistent sadness, loss of interest in activities, and changes in appetite or sleep patterns. Despite these biological underpinnings, there are also socially constructed components such as the stigmatization of mental illness, cultural attitudes towards expressing emotions, and the socially defined roles and expectations for individuals suffering from depression.
