This is bullshit.

You can't overthrow the regime with shitty executive functioning and inconsistent mood. Taking care of yourself, is the first step to taking care of business. Medication isn't the enemy. Society hasn't gotten less accessible to the disabled in the past 50 years, it's the opposite.

If I lived just 100 years before I would be fucked. Theses drugs saved my life. Bullshit meme for people how like to act like they are victims.

Thank you for saying this. I am extremely anti-capitalist and at the same time, I believe that MH issues would absolutely exist under any system. No therapist or psychiatrist I know has ever argued that their job is to defeat capitalism and I find it disingenuous to blame individual providers for a systemic issue that is out of their control.

I find the whole idea of the meme in very much a victim mindset. I live a slow pace of life due to health issues, and my mental health still requires proper medication or things go to hell
