> but your argument would suggest that anyone using antidepressants or other medications in order to function "normally" aren't experiencing real emotion.

But are they really feeling their “own real emotions”? Or are the drugs sedating / uplifting their emotions unnaturally to make them more “normal”. Maybe I’m focusing on the word “real” too much, but I think one could legitimately state that while under the influence of medication, your emotions might not be natural/real to who you are.
