Octavia immediately shook her head. “I know many performers that used antidepressants ended up worse off with them than they were without. It might be a bit unconventional… but diapers are more comfortable and way less dangerous.
I wish more people saw it like that. Diapers are far less harmful for de-stressing than turning to things like drugs or alcohol.
I'm going to say this... antidepressants, as well as any other "medications" that alter brain chemistry are often double-edged swords. A "one-size-fits-all" treatment ideology is fundamentally flawed and neglects the fact that no two people are exactly the same. Some doctors in some countries also "treat the symptom, not the cause", which just leads to relapses and repeat visits or more expensive treatments. My home country (America, the land of "hold my beer") doesn't have a health care system, it's a Health Care Business - "Cuz there's money in sick people!"
*tosses a lit match on the soapbox as he steps off it*
Sorry about that. Health care and mental wellness are two things that are surefire "get my dander up" points in my mind. I love the story, and it illustrates a point that I myself deal with - having something considered a fetish or kink you indulge in to destress or just as part of everyday life being ridiculed and judged by "normal people"... and suffering psychological distress because of it.
To our esteemed author - you have successfully created a story that inflames my passions about both my own hidden proclivities and my opinions on mental wellness and health care. Well done. I am now invested emotionally in this story, and eagerly await the next chapter.
