Predator Disease

== Description ==
Predator disease is a diagnosis used in The Federation used as a blanket diagnosis for behavior that is not "herd-like". It is assigned to individuals that are not part of a herd/group but is also applied to individuals that are unwillingly excluded from herd/groups.
Among humans predator disease is regarded as a blanket diagnosis for mental or behavioral disorders and is a poor way of categorizing mental health issues as it includes a vast number of symptoms under one diagnosis. It can refer to individuals who are deemed too curious, or individuals with sociopathic tendencies. Humans have compared the conditions in predator disease facilities to 20th century asylumshttps://www.patreon.com/posts/82586063?utm_campaign=postshare_creator. 
A diagnosis of predator disease often results in social ostracization and will make it extremely difficult to find employmenthttps://www.reddit.com/r/HFY/comments/12zirnn/the_nature_of_predators_110/.
== Treatment ==
Predator disease treatment facilities are have extremely poor conditions and utilize ineffective and painful methods for treating mental health issues. Patients in predator disease facilities are often shocked, sterilized, and heavily medicated with medications that have severe side effects.
After the Sapient Coalition formed the treatments for predator disease were changed. Human mental health diagnoses and their symptoms were made available to medical workers in the Sapient Coalition to help improve the treatment of individuals with mental health disordershttps://www.patreon.com/posts/nature-of-1-2-95151952.
