Well, i'm not really angry. I am sorry
my writing comes across that way. If i
remember exercise, and vitamins and
stuff like that was being proposed as
an alternative to meds for mental illness.And i wish to stress that the question
of numbers is important: how many are
mentally ill and need meds, and how many
are not, and take meds anyway.When mental illness strikes, it is evidently
and indubitably different, surprising the
person himself/herself sometimes. As for the
causes, there may some as you say which are
not endogenous, and a preliminary study into
that is usually part of the course. I would
like to my faith in doctors though, and say that
when they see what looks like manic-depression,
it IS manic-depression, and the med works, then
that is the best you can get from mental health care today.Squiggles
