Have you read Szasz? Have you refuted his arguments? If you have not considered arguments which say what you're doing is actively bad, but you're going ahead anyway, isn't that irresponsible? If you have considered them, could you tell or link me the answer?

Because ivory tower intellectual debate is exactly what people raw from the emotion of a life changing event need right now.

Why not take a step back and ask yourself whether this might be a helpful thing to do in a universe which didn't revolve around your debating skills.

That's not ivory tower debate. That's "I'm hyperrational so you're wrong" dysfunctional argumentation.
