> The concern regarding a drug as a crutch is stil valid.

People with pacemakers can't get off of them either, but it doesn't have the same stigma. Diabetics often need regular insulin injections, but it doesn't have the same stigma. People with high-blood pressure often need regular medication, but it doesn't have the same stigma. It's mostly antidepressants and now Ozempic which have this stigma.

> A set of habits and lifestyle are pretty much the same thing.

I believe the DSM does not consider them "pretty much the same thing".
