You can show up in a wheelchair and people will do so much mental gymnastics about why you don't actually need it because you don't look disabled.

Conservatives aren't being giant whinerbabies about sign language by accident.
And like. Cymbalta? Yeah it's an antidepressant. It also helps (more subtlely) with fibro pain. Aka one of those chronic pain condition without many options for pain relief.
Obviously the mental health sides are important too, but acting like they're the only sides to a medication is fucking ridiculous.
