1/ please stop deterring people from undertaking the medical treatment recommended by professionals

2/ there is increasing evidence that psychedelic therapies for mental illness were all based on hype and don’t actually perform any better or at all

You are correct about (1), but "citation needed" for (2).

Psychedelic therapies are most definitely not based on hype -- there's real research being conducted by real doctors, and it's only becoming more prevalent.

Not to be a pedant, but if you examine the particular word choice in each of your competing propositions, you'll see that you both managed to find a way to be technically incorrect.

Let's hope language doesn't have something to do with how humans perceive reality! (Or, maybe I have that backwards.)
