Thanks for replying; I’m still developing my understanding of how to navigate this area of ideas with care.
How do you feel about drug addiction being classified as a mental illness? Do you feel that pharmacological alterations to the brain belong in the same category as depression and suicidal ideation? Would things be easier for people struggling with depression if there was a different category for addiction-based dysfunction that separated the two more distinctly in the public consciousness?
It might be easier for people suffering from other mental illnesses if addiction were in a different category, but addiction isn’t something you choose. You may choose to try a substance, but no serious scientist holds addicts morally responsible for their addiction in the way we hold murderers or Nazis responsible for their actions.
