And there's absolutely no problem with that. The issue I'm highlighting is using drugs to paper over problems that are a direct result of shitty working conditions.
if i get injured on the worksite and i'm given drugs & care to recover it is 'papering over' the mistakes & conditions that led to my injury, and getting me back to work faster. but i rather prefer that to having a longer convalescence-->possible unemployment & future medical consequences. don't you? even state-run medical systems can be critiqued for prioritizing getting people back to work over the best interests of the patients, but i don't see how complaining about novel therapies being offered to some privileged workers is a good way to make that point
Again, I'm not arguing against legitimate use cases for drug therapy here. 🤷
What I'm saying is that working conditions need to be improved, and then any psychological problems people have that are not a result of exploitation should absolutely be treated using therapy. I'm not sure how much more clear I can make this.
No, I'm not implying anything of the sort. Nowhere am I arguing against treating health issues, and I've been as explicit as humanly possible regarding that point.

That is indeed not what I meant to say there, and I can't help it if people choose to aggressively misinterpret what I was very clearly trying to say.

When I keep repeating that I'm not against therapy over and over, but people just keep fixating on specific phrasing what else is there to say. 🤷
