Nonono, I’m supporting healthcare unquestionably. There’s science behind best practices, and when it’s drugs or therapy or surgery, best practices should be considered.

i suppose so, but even then we still only think that drugs are helpful. Simply because we have no better solution, and i guess from that aspect it's true. But then again we also invented heroin as an alternative to morphine. Whoops.

There is certainly a place for drug advocation, but if you are supporting healthcare (or more accurately, medical science) as you say, there is also a place for discussing the potential downsides and negatives to them, without bias. Because otherwise, you cannot have a scientific environment. And you risk doing more damage to people than necessary, or worse slowing down the time of progress. Which is objectively bad.

I mean for example, it's well established practice and knowledge that not everybody reacts to the same drugs the same way. It's on an individual level basis. For some individuals, it would follow that the recommendation might be none.

No way, for other disorders therapy is very effective and non invasive.

Discussion is fine, but real prioritization needs to be done by impartial researchers that are considering harm reduction vs effectiveness.

The people that do not respond well to a treatment need to be classified vs people that respond very well.
