Welcome to Rauchen Technologies, and to our latest and most exciting drug trial series! We here at Rauchen are excited to invite you into our experiments with cutting edge medical technology designed to revolutionize the ways we treat, supplement, and ultimately medicate mental illness. We are fully confidant that through scientific advances, we can map the human brain—with all of its attendant disorders, quirks, and glitches—and move toward a comprehensive understanding of human consciousness.
…or are we?
Alternately, maybe what we’ve discovered us that human consciousness, human desires, and human emotions really can’t be quantified. How do we know that what we feel is “real?” Or maybe a bigger and more pressing question—what does “real” even mean? Or beyond even that question, does it matter, in the end, what in our lives was “real” and what was manufactured by substances, experiences, memories, or encounters?
As much as medical technology has advanced, our understanding of depression and anxiety n particular continues to develop. The Effect gives us numerous viewpoints about both the advantages of medication as well as the creative possibilities inherent in non-neurotypical brains. Where do we draw the line between self-help and self-harm?
