I’m talking about like psychiatric medications…
And like the cops show up… they tell you this person is dead, then you have no emotions cuz you literally are unable to express emotions since you’re under effects of medications…
So… do the cops just start suspecting you? Like… I can imagine them being like: holy shit this guy just got news of his [wife/husband/mother/father/son/daughter] getting murdered and doesn’t even react much, he must be the murderer…
(I might’ve watched too many crime documentaries, cuz like you check comment sections on some youtube videos and there are all those armchair-experts like: “Oh this person didn’t react to news of the victim’s death, I aLrEaDy kNeW he/she must be the murderer!”)
Correct about being dead-inside, on some of those chemicals.
Mind-you, sometimes medication is the currently-right-answer, but I find psychiatry’s devotion to a perpetually-medicated population to be the wrong paradigm.
IF medication’s required, THEN can it be made to be not required, in the future, through engineered-healing, somehow??
That isn’t how Western medicine worked, when I was engaging with it ( I’m autistic, then a brain-injury survivor, & spent much of many days catatonic, for years, late last century ).
When you’re zonked on their drugs, though, you’re zonked, & it affects you consistently-enough that good cops’ll figure-out that you’re medically-drugged probably without even having to ask.
I remember seeing a newspaper photo of an arrested murderer-suspect, & immediately thought: zonked on antidepressant ______ … & then when I read the article, yeah, they were.
Going up against neurological-damage … COSTS one, but … depends on the person, you know?
Some’d rather die than live drugged ( me ), & others just want life to be easier…
Please understand this, though: alcohol & marijuana both can produce the same result.
There used to be a subreddit called r/leaves which was people who wanted to be living again, instead of deadened the way THC does…
( & all the people who pretend that THC “helps” autism, no, it hides the symptoms it doesn’t help reduce the problem and they don’t care: marijuana-cult is a cult, as I was forced to learn, some years ago )
It isn’t only pharmaceuticals which produce the effect you’re asking about…
hell, sometimes trauma can obliterate a person’s emotional-functioning!
