It would be so nice if people could stop saying “did you forget your meds today?“ Or “keep taking those meds” about someone who seems to be struggling.

It is not funny. The people that hear that, including the person intended, are probably working very hard on whatever the issues happen to be, and meds are a very effective way of dealing with this.

Making fun of this only discourages people from trying. It makes them feel further stigmatized for dealing with an affliction in a healthy way. So stop it with the “I wonder if she took her meds today” type jokes. They hurt and they are not funny.

And they make you look like a bigoted asshole.
