Lmao a beta blocker is for fucking heart problems and similar things, it's not even a mental illness thing this dude is a dumbass

Edit: apparently beta blockers can be used for anxiety

I have heard of them being used psychologically. From the wiki about beta blockers,

many controlled trials in the past 25 years indicate beta blockers are effective in anxiety disorders

Musicians, public speakers, actors, and professional dancers have been known to use beta blockers to avoid performance anxiety, stage fright, and tremor during both auditions and public performances.
