I mean…that’s just like depression medication.

It’s possible to ignore sadness as well as hunger.

There are usually ways to fix the problems in your life, like sadness and hunger, without resorting to using drugs. Maybe not everyone but it is something we should strive for.

Why is that something to strive for though? Maybe for some people that mental energy is better spent everywhere. If there is a simple and safe pharmaceutical solution for a problem, that sounds like great progress to me!

Why? There's zero prizes for unnecessary struggle. It doesn't make you a better person, it just means you struggled more.
