In all honesty I think it's worth it if the condition is so bad that you can't leave the house, and it's an effective treatment. Being young and having a debilatating condition denying one of a "normal", productive life...Sounds like justifacation enough for me. I'd rather have 5 years of being content, confident, and an over-all happy outlook on life and wanting to be alive over a 100 years of highly upredictable moods and suffering anyday.Best wishes,
Carlos
