Clinical Laziness

Laziness should be classified as an illness.
I say this because like depression, there are varying degrees of laziness.

When a person is depressed, the person is left to manage and cope with the state. Treatment is required only when it approaches clinical levels or when the person is likely to be in a state where they lack coping skills to manage that state.

Similarly, with laziness, there is a scale.
We get lazy sometimes, but that's not a long-term state.
There must be 'clinical laziness', because some people are perpetually lazy and they think it's okay to be at that point. They find nothing wrong with just wasting away precious time doing nothing. Also, the miniscule bit that they do, is a huge deal to them - that they probably need to take leave the rest of the day. At this point, I think the diagnosis should be clinical laziness.

Everyone needs a time out, we take breathers, we rest, we unwind.
Clinical Laziness means, breathers last for days, rest time is never enough, and each second is a second to unwind. Nothing much gets done, yet that person feels like too much was done.
THAT is not just a simple error of perception if it recurs on a daily basis.

Unfortunately for us, there is no institution for such people - unless boot camps would take them in, and off our hands. These people are seriously in need of a reality check, but because their reality is too far off-target, we have to first make sure they have the same checklist!

We need to have boot camps for such people - one where they will be rostered to fill their time with more meaningful work other than sleeping and eating. Regular people sleep and eat to recharge. Clinically lazy people sleep and eat, because they don't believe there is anything else that they can do, since even eating is tiring for them!

No one really knows how a person gets to this stage - perhaps it's because no one ever thought this to be a psychological state.

At it's worst, a person with clinical laziness would probably drive the people around them to their grave. Isn't that enough for it to receive official classification?
