I believe it is what it is! It must be treated however needed. Do you think someone is better off living in misery, proud of the fact they don't take medication? Why is it, mental illness is the one disease where you are not supposed to take medication? I don't get it! The course of the illness can change regardless of medication. Sometimes it helps, sometimes not. I know in my case, I am much better off with meds. Just because the course of the illness is not predictable, does not mean it should not be treated! These meds are all we have, they are not perfect, and I am thankfull for them as they have kept me going over 10 years. Every time I stop taking them I become the same person I was, anxious, depressed, unable to work etc. I am no better or worse than before meds, just the same!
