520			_aThe medicalization of life has accelerated in the last thirty years following the media’s popularization of progress in medical and pharmaceutical sciences and their applications. Today, total well-being is sought and claimed as a priority. Full autonomy over one’s body is the rule. The use of psychotherapies and meditations of all kinds reflects the poet Juvenal’s motto “mens sana in corpore sano” in order to take advantage of the moment, especially since aging well has become a priority. Tolerating and enduring a benign but unsightly malformation is no longer really an option, just as it is no longer bearable to experience physical or psychological suffering, even minor. Magazines dedicated to physical and psychological health are flourishing, while programs, television series, and films are increasingly medicalizing our cultural and media environment. By segmenting fields of health, issuing and classifying supposedly consensual diagnostic recommendations, and specializing research axes, are we not tending to marginalize the human being that medicine claims to treat and possibly cure? Regarding the phenomenon of the medicalization of life, the two authors describe their different visions as an internist on the one hand and a psychotherapist-anthropologist of health on the other.
