    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.
