Lol, Definitely a nutter!
Actually, the description that fits best for me is that alcoholics have an allergy to alcohol. I really like that definition. I have read up a bit on addiction and mental health this last few months and I think an allergy to something - substance, persons, situtions, environemnts, life in general - can be a good starting point for looking at many mental health issues. Many differnet medical terms can be used to describe all sorts of condtions but what it boils down to is that some individuals have mindsets that are just not suited to their circumstances and need help adjusting.
Why is it for instance a person behaving erratically is called deranged if they are poor but eccentric if they are wealthy? One has to be changed and the other celebrated?
Nobody is `abornormal`. Just different. Unique.
