I agree with you about 99% of things as a rule Meghan; I've been a fan for many years. I feel compelled to point out that there are some people who need to be on antidepressants, and who have chosen to be on them not out of simple laziness or cowardice. Unfortunately many people do feel a great deal of shame about taking them, and that's how people like David Foster Wallace end up killing themselves.

Also Trump belongs on your list of mentally ill people. I'm not saying that due to any particular political affiliation. I know NPD when I see it, unfortunately.

I am aware there are some people who need antidepressants. I know some myself. I'm not sure where I argued otherwise? I honestly just don't like adding a bunch of caveats to my writing, constantly explaining that I believe, for example, racism exists, or depression is real, and so on and so forth. It makes for an annoying, tiresome read, and is mostly pointless.
