James here....
15 yrs of dperession and alot of reading have brought me to some truths. I tend to state them blunty because mental illness
is a very significant so I don't pussy foot around.
As long as you keep it in terms of "this is wnat I think" and not attack you are fine with
me.As such, I don't think there is any question that with most mental illness, if there are several relapses, the condition
is chronic. At least 50 yrs of case history supports this. I don't see this is a negetive, but a fact to be delt with.
It's treatable, with a high rate of sucess. Treating it also means it does not get worse. If going off the meds means a relapse and sucidial thoughts, why stop.
Esp. if the staticits support this. I never, ever, never, ever
want to think about killing myself again. I have had a 100% cure of this happening, for 15 yrs, on meds. This is good news, not negative.j
