Fiance said people shouldn't need to rely on meds everyday

I'm just venting I guess.

My fiance came home from work early because he said he started to get a bad migraine and an anxiety attack. He said he took his meds (pills prescribed by his GP a while ago to take when he thinks he's getting an anxiety attack) and felt better but the migraine persisted. That's the third anxiety attack this week so I told him he really needs to get into therapy and also get a psychiatrist so he can have meds he takes daily to hopefully prevent any anxiety attacks and work on himself. He was like "I'm fine. Who knows what kind of horrible side effects could happen if I take a pill every day." And I was like "they make it harder to cum 😑." And he's like "there could be something worse, you don't know." And I'm like "I take them! I know!" And this was all light-hearted banter.

Then he said "I just don't want to take pills every day. I want to be normal." And I said "do you know what normal is? (Ready to say a pokemon type)" And he's like "Someone who doesn't have to take pills every day. We shouldn't need to rely on pills every day, it's not right. If I took care of myself better I'm sure everything would be fine." And I just kind of stared at him with a disgusted face and was like "oh cool." (Because I obviously have to take pills every day to function) And he was like "maybe if you ate better, exercised more, and slept better you wouldn't need them! I know it's hard to do that with the girls so it's fine that you don't but I'm just saying who knows?" And I just kind of continued to stare at him with a disgusted and tired face (think Ron Swanson.)

So ya I've just been kinda stuck on that since yesterday 🫠. When he was a kid his mom had him go to ADHD clinics and he tried every med out there and do whatever tests they had in the early 90's for adhd. He's had a stigma about meds since because he felt horrible throughout his childhood because of all the random meds. It's never really been a problem because he takes OTC meds when he needs them and meds his doc prescribes. But ever since he found out he has anxiety attacks and I've been telling him he should try out therapy and a psychiatrist he's been annoying about his hate of medication dependency.
