No fancy OP this time because I am running on E! I'm definitely not a couple of days late! This week's person of interest is you, dear reader. Tell this fat frog lady all about your lovely selves this week. Tell me what makes you laugh and what brings you joy in this hell on earth we call home.
As always, we ask that in order to participate in the weekly megathread, one self-identifies as some form of disabled, which is broadly defined in the community sidebar:
"Disability" is an umbrella term which encompasses physical disabilities, emotional/psychiatric disabilities, neurodivergence, intellectual/developmental disabilities, sensory disabilities, invisible disabilities, and more. You do not have to have an official diagnosis to consider yourself disabled.
Mask up, love one another, and stay alive for one more week.
May I ask what "promotional medication" even means? Like some company is paying your psychiatrist to push a specific treatment instead of what you actually want?
Yep. Unfortunately, it's a common practice in psychiatric medicine in the US. Instead of prescribing the standard medication that should seem obvious, they prescribe a medication that they were paid to prescribe to a particular demographic of patients. Oftentimes, these medications develop a dependency.
