It's crazy how many people have been pushing to have constant medicalization normalized as if that's a desirable outcome for a huge swath of the population.

I'm fine with the psych doctors pumping the legitimately crazy full of thorazine, but this is a ridiculously evil manifestation of the profit-incentive in medicine.

Also quite interesting jow the article inplies that the only treatment for dwpression is antidepressant medication. This i sprobably the same reason they say now thay being trangender is a medical issue, and not a mental health issue. Every trans person who medically transitions will need ongoing medication/treatment for life from big-pharma.

Sad but true. If there's enough of a profit to be had morality is thrown out the window.
