I won't say that the legal system, and plaintiff's lawyers in particular, doesn't share some blame but I think that it's our society on the whole that breeds and tolerates "syndromes" and all these made up "problems". If you've read past Friday Files you'll read my take on rehab these days.

In addition to the latest phenomenon that everything is a syndrome or disease and that rehab is a silver bullet for everything, the other big issue is that no one takes responsibility for their own F ups. Our society loves to play the blame game. That applies to situations like this to major things like the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. There is still finger pointing going on with that mess.
