Is the phrase "Self Medicate" simply a euphism for something more sinister?

I hear discussions, descriptions, explanations etc. for a phenomenon called “Self Medication”
But in every case, the phrase “I/he/she Self Medicate[s]” is nothing more than an alternative way of saying “I fuck myself up with alcohol and/or pharmaceuticals. I do this, because no ethical medical professional is going to make a diagnosis or treatment plan that would justify this approach to my cognitive problem.”
So why do people even entertain the legitimacy of the notion of “Self Medication”?
Using Fluther
