Can we please talk about young people and their dependency on legal pharmaceutical drugs?

Instead of being able to deal with the normal emotional ride of life or using traditional means to cope (go for a walk, have a cup of tea, chat to a friend), everyone seems to be on something.

Or on lots of things with a therapist thrown in.

Their social media timelines are a long list of mental health and emotional obsessions with many choosing to define their identity by what conditions they have. (How many of you have seen ADHD/Autisitc/neurodivergent next to their pronouns?)

Mental health has been weaponised against people to the point they think if they feel sad for a few days they need to be medicated.

They are taking uppers and downers in school to get through exams that are half the difficulty of what we sat through with coffee.

Personally, I think it's an extension of safetyism. The idea that you must always feel perfect.

Actually, climate change is the same idea. If the weather isn't ideal 100% of the time, people shriek about the apocalypse.

It's as if no one can cope with life anymore.
