medicative

By administering an inert substance, the baseline placebo effect can be tested, as no actual medicative effects are expected from this inert substance.

We're all entitled to our quirks and interests, but I would argue that what she is doing is self-medicative and produces no other value.

I can say that there are non-medicative practices, along with diagnostic tools available to show concrete evidence relating to showing problems, that are transformative.

The argument claims the US actually has among the lowest schizophrenia recovery rates (~5% in the US vs ~45% for untreated patients who receive non-medicative care) due to the reliance on medication.

Certain drugs have been found to interact with placebo, which decreases or enhances their effects, thus again conflating the medicative effects of the drugs being administered and the effects of actually taking a pill (or rather going through the process of administering medication).

That's because, as far as it exists, America's nanny-state sucks, (the secondary drug ingredients have a dual purpose of treating some other ailment beyond cough, such as chest congestion, and dissuading from intentional medicative overdose), and you're probably D&U.

For me that was coping mechanisms combined with a realization that much of the "attention deficit" was because I _didn't want to pay attention to the shit I was supposed to_ and _that's completely reasonable._ To insinuate that I haven't tractably found success ("baseline normal") with a non-medicative approach in my life is frankly insulting.
