Not at all ironically, you didn't present anything scientific either. And I don't stigmatize people for seeking help. I am skeptical if medications help because I haven't seen them work for the several people I know who tried them.

Anti-psychotic drugs helped stabilize someone I know. It did matter to find the right drug, and nothing else helped.

So there, one anecdote vs. another.

I do agree with the general sentiment, though that has to do with the rulers of this world (not politicians).

Yeah, I don't disagree at all. In fact I was on CBD for a while and it really did help me to almost eliminate my anxiety.

And yep, my beef with psychiatric chemical help is exactly that: I want to see more will to repair the system and not treat more and more patients.
