      Lol that's not what I mean, most people "dependent" on meds to function are extremely aware of it, and the stigma against dependence has a lot more negative impact on their lives than the dependence

      Being dependent on medication isn’t the same as addiction, you fuckwit. Diabetes isn’t an addiction to insulin. People with HIV aren’t ‘hooked on’ a cocktail of medication. The hidden addictions I spoke of are addictions to drugs and alcohol most people deny or are unaware of.

      Yeah and the line between "addiction" and "dependency" isn't the clear bright one you think it is, especially for currently controversial drugs like opioids

      The whole reason people fearmongered about SSRIs is they "create dependency", they can leave it theoretically worse off if you start taking them and stop than if you never started That's something to be aware of when prescribing, it's NOT a reason not to do it

      I never said I was against the use of SSRIs. What the fuck are you on about? Do I have to go through every single medical condition and it’s treatment? Can you not fucking *generalise* from what I said about insulin and pain relief?

      I *am* generalizing Fearmongering about addiction and dependency is bad, the medical gatekeeping it has led to has caused a lot of harm, and I'm opposed to it

      There are probably millions of people who are dead today because of the US's controlled substance schedule saying drugs like ketamine (or THC) are off limits because they're too fun

      I’m not against using ketamine for treating PTSD or alcoholism. Follow the fucking argument, not the one your headmates are butting in with. Using drugs to treat conditions is not the same as creating conditions through the use of drugs.

      The problem with gatekeeping is people like you deciding you get to tell other people whether they have a "condition"

      So there's no such thing as medical expertise and judgement in Chu's wonderus world then? Everyone is the sole judge of their own situation?

      I think given the history of medical gatekeeping it's something to at least be skeptical about You know homosexuality was only removed as a mental illness from the DSM thanks to political protests and threats to out members of the APA who were gay

          They were also wrong about lobotomies and repressed memory syndrome. These approaches were based on faulty ideas and dogmatic beliefs Your approach removes the possibility of getting treatments right, though, by collapsing the idea of authoritative medical knowledge in general

          My "approach" is to prioritize the lived experience and expressed desires of the patient, or at least give them more of a vote than they've gotten in the past Which was exactly the problem with the highhanded attitude behind stuff like pushing lobotomies
