A depressed patient treated with an anti-depressant suffers a manic or psychotic episode, at which time his or her diagnosis is changed to bipolar disorder. At that point, the person is prescribed an anti-psychotic to go along with the anti-depressant, and, once on a drug cocktail, the person is well along on the road to permanent disability"

I am curious. If you have decided that medication is not the path for you, then why are you reading and posting on a board specifically dedicated to mutual support in the use of medication?I'm not trying to change your mind, or to imply that you are not welcome as a variety of viewpoints makes for interesting discussion. I'm just curious as to what the draw is for you.
