Franziska Hochuli has written: 'The exercise of power in the medicalization of childbirth'
The sociological perspective that suggests the term medicalization of society refers to the growing role of medicine as a major institution of social control is the conflict theory. Conflict theorists argue that powerful groups, including medical professionals and pharmaceutical companies, use medicine to enforce social norms and control behaviors, leading to the medicalization of various aspects of society.

This is called medicalization. Poverty is typically a social problem, and should be addressed as such.
A strong thesis statement on the overdiagnosis of ADHD could be: "The overdiagnosis of ADHD raises concerns about the potential for unnecessary medicalization of behavioral differences in children, leading to the misuse of medication and potential long-term consequences on individual development and societal attitudes towards mental health."
Leonore Tiefer is known for her work on the medicalization of sex and women's sexual health.

Medical sociology is a subfield of sociology that examines the social factors influencing health, illness, and healthcare systems. It explores how social structures, institutions, and inequalities impact individuals' health outcomes and experiences. The scope of medical sociology includes analyzing healthcare disparities, patient-provider interactions, health behaviors, medicalization of society, and the social construction of illness. It also examines the role of power, culture, and social norms in shaping health beliefs and practices.
Secondary victimization occurs when the societal response to a victimizing stigma is more disabling than the primary stigmatic condition itself. This may include the treatment by society of victims of rape, disability, mental disorder, or other social stigma. The consequences may also extend further degrees, e.g. to tertiary victimization and quaternary victimization. ex. A victim of rape (primary victimization) may be subjected to victim blaming and ostracism as the result of the attack; those who become disabled (primary victimization) may be subjected to non-accommodation, medicalization, and segregation; and those who develop mental disorder (primary victimization) may be subject to institutionalization, that in each case may be far more victimizing to these individuals and limiting of their life opportunity than the primary victimizing stigmatic condition itself, and are thus called secondary victimization. Tertiary victimizations would include the victimizing consequence of secondary victimizations, e.g. results of victim blaming, ostracism, non-accommodation, medicalization, segregation, and institutionalization, etc. by society.
