I know of a Narcoleptic (Neurological) fellow in his 60's who has been on the same medication for over 40 years, and has been working since he's 18.
Yes dep/anx/ocd/thought/perceptual disorders move along a spectrum of suicidality-manic psychosis, thought disorders from normality to believing one is God.But how nice it would be to have a single, mono-treatable condition?-alas we don't choose our disease.
BTW-my Narcoleptic aquantaince has taken highest (~60-80mgs) doses of medically supervised, monitored, scripted Methamphetamine tabs(currently 16!! Desoxyn 5mg IR daily) for~45 years!!, since the late 50's i believe, and is not a burnt out 'speed freak', nor amazingly does he suffer any depression when he doesn't take his powerfull stimulant medicine, HE JUST SLEEPS ALOT!.-seems so simple to me, one disorder one treatment.
