Yet.. there are people who take things to make them feel good when they already feel good.
Further.. the idea that someone is going to improve their situation in any other than the most short sighted terms by "self medicating" with something like Methamphetamine or Heroin is completely ridiculous. I am absolutely not comfortable standing by to see how that story plays out, I know exactly how it plays out, and it's completely inhumane to pretend that you don't either.
- BobaFloutist 3y agoThe term "self medicating" doesn't imply that it works, just that they're trying to address an underlying issue that isn't being sufficiently addressed by anything else. It's closer in concept to "coping mechanism" than it is to "prescribed medication".
- lostdog 3y agoConsidering how poorly the prescribed medication works, maybe it's just not that big of a difference.
