This may be true for tribal societies but we don't live in one anymore and unless I go try and join the sentinels at Sentinel Island, which I have a 99% chance of being killed before reaching, I have to find a way to live and prosper in the society we do have and that's by medicating.

I tried for a decade to make myself work "naturally". Almost left to be a monastic forever. At some point you have to pick up the same shovel everyone else is holding.

Unless you want to pay me 100k to keep trying to do my own thing.

The original topic of this post is someone who is well liked by their coworkers and by the sounds of it plenty productive in the eyes of the company. So your idea that you have to conform at all costs is pretty shaky at best.
