In some cultures, it’s seen as weird if you don’t take drugs.
My grandmother used to say that you shouldn’t trust a man who doesn’t drink beer.
A coworker would say they didn’t like working with people who drank tea instead of coffee.
Can you imagine what that would be like if we switched culturally-accepted drugs with mental health practices?
“Never trust a man who doesn’t meditate.”
“I hate working with people who don’t follow their prescribed medication regimen.”
“I’m more of a professionally-managed-medical-regimen kinda guy.”
“It’s unpatriotic to not sleep 8 hours a day, exercise regularly and eat real food.”
Can you imagine?
