This debate is couched in psychiatry's own bad-faith ontological quandaries. Namely, different drugs have different qualitative effects. Depression is more symptomatology; it is part of the human condition. Elimination of symtpoms as in a classical medical illness does not adequately describe any actions of any drug's real-world effects.

Moreover, medicine on a whole, one can argue, is needlessly and myopically focused on palliatives which eliminate symptomatology but do not address the core problems. For instance, chronic dehydration indubitably a root cause of many degenerative diseases, yet the one of the most glaring deficits in any hospital--especially geriatric care centers--is adequate hydration of patients.
