Reply to comment by [deleted] in TIL of Complex PTSD, which arises from prolonged, inescapable trauma (like child abuse/neglect, sex trafficking, or solitary confinement). It's hard to spot & treat, and can last a lifetime. Victims have a diminished sense of self, and issues with trust, boundaries, cognition, motor skills, & more. by Pfeffer_Prinz
Therapists don’t prescribe you pills, that’s what a psychiatrist does. I know this because all my family members are pillheads who’ve been tricking psychs since I was a baby

The people who buy these expensive bottles are usually business executives who bring the bottle out during parties so they can impress the other rich guys. My local liquor store has some expensive bottles that keep on hand for those kinds of people.
