    I’m not talking about antidepressants, I’m talking about non-medical drugs. Many depressed people fall in that spiral of depressed —> drugs —> slightly less depressed —> even more depressed —> more drugs —> repeat.

    Same with people talking to LLMs for social connections.

    I wasn’t talking about medical antidepressants, these can help when taken in controlled amounts.

      Ok, my bad. I thought by drugs you were talking about things like SSIRs which some are attempting to demonize these days. Illicit drugs on the other hand just provide a very short temporarily relief and just prolong the problem.
