But plenty of words can have huge impacts on mental state. Is that odd?
"Your significant other was just involved in a serious car accident and is in critical condition."
Or consider attending a (good) stand-up comedy act. That situation can put you in a very different mental state even without the use of alcohol or other drugs (although people do often combine the two).
- westoncb 10y agoRight. The tricky thing is having words and chemicals lead you to precisely the SAME state.
- qu4z-2 10y agoSure, but "combats depression" is probably a broad enough effect that they wouldn't necessarily be the SAME state in this case either, right? They could both treat depression in different ways.
