Hi everybody writing to/from psycho babble, my name is elizabeth (call me lithiumliz if you like) and i've been on over 15 meds in about five years, i was very happy to find this chat room cause not only do i have alot of experience but i'm working on gathering info for a zine titled "lithiumfiend" and i would like any info anyone wants to give me about their "psychopharmoexperiences"...my title is not meant to make fun of a very serious situation- quite the contrary- i want to make our situations known...i have read several notes posted on this site and feel i have found "kindred" souls...i am trying to examine the theory that the rise of med-use can be related to a middle class ideological base-if you agree or disagree, please let me know- once again examining that theory does not negate the existance of mental illness- i am interested in what others feel is the cause- if there us one of mental illness? what are your personal definitions of mentall illness? does your's differ from society's or your doctor's? i will soon give a history of my own background with meds, i don't want anyone to think I'm coming into this chat room as a voyeur. Thaks to everyone who replies- use whatever kind of language you are comfortable with- you can't offend me. LIZ
