  • The medication is not supposed to treat anything is supposed to stabilize people so they don’t off themselves or harm themselves and can function more os less trough life. It is done so because there is no treatment or cure for mental things, the medication is more of a patch rather than a fix, that’s why it if I drop my meds I go back to where I was when I started to take them.

    And also you say Data wants emotions to be more like his friends (because that worked out so well with the other prototype, apparently) but his friends (the ones I saw at least) are all very neurotypical to me, there is no one around to tell him to chill and that humans are not all that way and that he should stop obcessing about mimiquing others (masking) because humans are not all the same anyway and sometimes we don’t understand our own species anyway and that it’s ok for him to process things the way he processes. But I guess it’s just a tv show, I just took that scene about “talking about nothing” way too personally being ND myself married to another ND and watching a character apparently ND also being portrayed as not having “humanity” or “emotions” when he just processes them differently, like ND people do. 🤷🏻‍♀️
