TranslationsSocial Disease
Social Disease a human disease whose occurrence and distribution result mainly from unfavorable socioeconomic conditions. Social diseases include tuberculosis, venereal diseases, alcoholism, drug addiction, rickets, certain occupational disorders, and vitamin deficiencies and other disorders resulting from improper diet. The spread of social diseases is facilitated by conditions that give rise to class antagonism and the exploitation of workers. The elimination of exploitation and social inequality is a necessary precondition for the successful control of social diseases. At the same time, socioeconomic conditions exert a direct or indirect effect on the occurrence and development of many other human diseases. However, the role of the biological peculiarities of the causative agent or of the human body should not be underestimated, even in cases of social diseases. For this reason, the term “social disease” has become increasingly limited in its usage beginning in the 1960’s and 1970’s. social disease

Patient discussion about social diseaseQ. Was this true Asperger's syndrome, or a social anxiety disorder? I've been told multiple times by multiple people (though none of them doctors) that I probably have Ausperger's syndrome, or at least suffered from it through most of my childhood. I have struggled socially a GREAT deal, and have overcome many things, though I still am socially awkward and easily confused in social situations. Conversely, I am a secretary and receptionist by trade, and seem to have most people 'fooled' when I have medication for my diagnosed medical condition. Was this true Asperger's syndrome, or a social anxiety disorder?A. Well, I like to share my experience from which you find an answer. My 19 year old brother has AS, and I would not say he is at all retarded, although once people get to know him they assume that he is. His intellectual/IQ level isn't any lower than the "normal", but he definitely struggles socially, always has, always will. Hell, so do I... and I wouldn't be surprised if I have a touch of AS myself. Anyhow he is able to work, pay bills, follow commitments through, etc., He's actually very responsible…can't say that for many "normal" folk. His main quirk is that he really fixates on things...for example if his favorite TV show is "Lost", he'll talk about it and run it into the ground until he makes you absolutely hate it from overkill. Other than that he's not much different from the rest of us. More discussions about social diseasesocial disease
