C/S/X movement spaces have had various views of mental health medication/psychiatric medication. There are concerns that this medication is seen as offering a cheap and fast-acting way for psychiatrists to sedate individuals they see as non-normative. Additionally, there are worries from some about the short-term side effects and how some psychiatric medications can have lasting, damaging side effects and some have addictive properties. There is an acknowledgment in the c/s/x movement that mental health medication can be a helpful and live-saving intervention for some individuals but also calls for patients to have greater autonomy and options in addressing symptoms.
