Society has shifted issues of subjective and social reality of the population into the medical field, with the obsession with perfect health becoming a predominant pathogenic factor in the increase in the number of diseases and patients, while the level of health in the population is improving. The power of medicine has made the idea of «medicalising» various aspects of life that can be perceived as medical problems as attractive even when it is not the case. Living entails times of unhappiness and anguish but, should we treat these episodes? We are in the health culture of «everything, here and now». In this article, the ethical implications of unnecessary interventions are analysed, along with the different alternatives that the professionals involved may perform to redirect this situation. It is reflected if we want a world where we all risk wearing labels for this or that disease.
社会已将民众的主观及社会现实问题转移至医学领域，对完美健康的痴迷成为疾病和患者数量增加的一个主要致病因素，而民众的健康水平却在提高。医学的影响力使得将生活中可被视为医疗问题的各个方面“医学化”的观念颇具吸引力，即便事实并非如此。生活中难免会有不快乐和痛苦的时刻，但是，我们应该治疗这些阶段吗？我们处于“此时此地的一切”的健康文化之中。本文分析了不必要干预的伦理影响，以及相关专业人员为扭转这种局面可能采取的不同选择。文中还思考了我们是否想要一个所有人都可能因这种或那种疾病而被贴上标签的世界。
