A blunt, offensive directive implying that someone's opinions or online behavior are so irrational, aggressive, or erratic that they must be off their prescribed psychiatric medication. It reduces all disagreement or passion to a chemical imbalance, suggesting the solution isn't discourse but pharmaceuticals. It's a particularly nasty form of gaslighting that tells a person their very mode of engagement is a medical emergency.
Take Meds Card Example: During a late-night, intense political thread, User A makes a valid but passionately worded point. User B, wanting to dismiss them, replies: "Your timeline is unhinged. Seriously, go take your meds card and chill." This reframes healthy engagement as a manic episode requiring sedation.
