Discuss your understanding of the medicalization of deviance.

As the medicalization of deviance has expanded, “remedies” have multiplied. Our ‘magic bullets’ now support our norms and values of happiness, sexual potency and youthful energy, cognitive ability and appearance. We have also provided more opportunities for deviance (e.g., human growth hormone has become a street [or gym] drug and pharmaceutical companies have been fined for selling off-label HGH [anti-aging, athletic edge]). In short, we have socially constructed deviance even as we attempt to reduce the stigma of deviance.
