This is so on point, Jason. Thanks for writing it. I’ve lost count of how many people told me I should go off my meds and focus on diet and exercise, to which I responded: when your brain tells you that you should kill yourself, you’re not thinking about booking a spin class. FFS. One can believe that pharma is deeply problematic while recognizing that there exists medication that saves people’s lives — the two aren’t mutually exclusive. Would this same person recommend to someone who has cancer, heart disease, etc., that they should go off their meds? Ugh, this is infuriating.

Thanks again!
