Why do so many people mistakenly think that a depressant means that it makes you depressed?

[Kingofkings1992]

This is seriously mind blowing how many people think this. I’ve even seen a mental health professional think this before. Unbelievable.

Lack of knowledge.. If anything it's the opposite; a lot of people with depression tend to use these substances to drown their sorrows and numb the emotional pain they feel

However, it should be noted that chronic abuse of these drugs might lead to severe side-effects (so depression could be possible, when you're coming off them, if you taper on the dose too quickly)

people forget what depress means or were never told

but a professional not knowing that is wild

[Kingofkings1992]

I love my downers. I’m actually not too fond of stimulants. I love total mind and body relaxation
