Lots of our discussion in our Commodities and International Conflicts class over the past week or so has centred on medical uses for drugs, and the abuse of prescription drugs. At some point the professor made a point of going over the fact that “mature capitalism” and our society as it is today contributes a lot to the rise of mental health issues. I am not disputing this fact; technology brings destructive power and the power to disseminate knowledge of that destructive power. What frustrates me about what he said was more how he said it; there was an almost-dismissive tone in his voice, as if to echo what people with anxiety and depression issues should just “get over it”.
Believe me: if I could, I would. [The next paragraph could potentially be triggering [SI], so it gets a cut. Ha ha pun.]
