The Ethics of Fighting Disease Myths

There’s no need to contest or censor divergent views on addiction and mental illness as told, for instance, by Koren Zailckas, William Styron, and T Kira Madden. They are effortlessly assimilated into the big ball of wax of the standard disease theory.

Stanton, on the other hand, impolitely disputes these things, while Zach tries to toe the line between confrontation and understanding.
