An IVORY TOWER? I WAS one of those children...I attended a school for the SED (Severely Emotionally Disturbed) and saw first and second hand how people could be destroyed by medications. My sister suffered terrible acne and weight gain from Lithium, but worse yet, she has permanent liver damage...
There are SOME who will suffer greatly from the loss of their meds, but there are other (maybe even effective) treatments out there.
