    people getting therapy included in their healthcare is good, its just that everyone should get it without having to rely on the caprice of employers

      Also, drugging people up shouldn’t be used to paper over brutally exploitative working conditions that cause psychological damage.

          And depression, as well as other mental health problems can often be a direct outcome of being overworked, and having to deal with poor working conditions.

              Yeah, you absolutely should hate the fact that you need to have insurance from companies. Organizing irl is not mutually exclusive with pointing obvious things out online either.

          And there’s absolutely no problem with that. The issue I’m highlighting is using drugs to paper over problems that are a direct result of shitty working conditions.

            if i get injured on the worksite and i’m given drugs & care to recover it is ‘papering over’ the mistakes & conditions that led to my injury, and getting me back to work faster. but i rather prefer that to having a longer convalescence–>possible unemployment & future medical consequences. don’t you? even state-run medical systems can be critiqued for prioritizing getting people back to work over the best interests of the patients, but i don’t see how complaining about novel therapies being offered to some privileged workers is a good way to make that point

              Again, I’m not arguing against legitimate use cases for drug therapy here. 🤷

              What I’m saying is that working conditions need to be improved, and then any psychological problems people have that are not a result of exploitation should absolutely be treated using therapy. I’m not sure how much more clear I can make this.
