I don't really know if the poop analogy works here. If you were going to extend it here then this drug effectively makes you not feel like you have to poop - so instead it keeps the bile piling up in your intense for a few more days. Sure you prevent yourself from pooping but you do have to remove that eventually.

Perhaps therapy is an intervention where they really can remove that waste from you with minimal invasiveness? And that's the argument here? But I still sorta think there is a measurement error here where taking a drug to not think about something so you can only think of it while with others is delaying the issue, not solving it.



If you’re looking for alternative analogies, feel free to use a colostomy one here if you want.

The point remains - saying ‘but can’t you just x’ when the problem is they can’t just x doesn’t really get you anywhere.
