Because most people posting positively about it sound like they are in a cult, very emotional language, insistent use of certain terminology, etc. It also seems to be clustered together with other currently "fashionable" opinions, and if you speak out against them you are mass-downvoted within seconds of posting your comment.
comfypotato's comments in particular read like something out of Demolition Man. Be well citizen, and have joy-joy feelings!
- comfypotato 4y agoThe offensively-joyful tone is probably a result of my medication. (Sorry, not sorry.)
- rep_lodsb 4y agoYou really come across as brainwashed to me. If this is what therapy and medication does to one's mind, I don't want any of it. (Sorry, not sorry.) To be less personal about it, it's also a general pattern I have noticed, not just with your posts.
- comfypotato 4y agoYou're not wrong. It's a cost-benefits analysis conclusion for me. For example: taking my own life was in the cards before medication and therapy. The current status quo is much better; not just for the reason in the previous sentence. I now work through the problems in my life in the order in which they cause more problems, and it benefits me in lots of little ways. It's relevant to the discussion that I think the notion that everyone needs therapy and medication is absurd. I continue to see a therapist as a barrier put into place to make sure I don't move in a negative direction regarding the more serious personal issues (and take appropriate/healthy actions when a significant problem arises).
