Why Do People Choose to Suffer

About the Book

It is interesting to note some people choose to suffer rather than change their lifestyle for the better. Although, there are some people who have an organic problem from birth, and these people have to live with this disorder with proper medication for the rest of their life. For example, a person with a chemical imbalance disorder, which is a legitimate disorder, and they can function in life as long as they are willing to take their medication. Then there are those that, for one reason or another, do not have a legitimate disorder. However, they project that they have so they can get the attention of others. This kind of person is what we call a manipulator, selfish, lazy, and obsessive-compulsive, needy individual. Sometimes they have been diagnosed as having borderline personality disorder. This is to name a few disorders that I will be addressing in this complex text. Fasten your seatbelts. This ride may be a little bumpy and rocky at times. However, the trip will be informative.
