Sometimes, I look back on the years of taking all those psych drugs like I look back on my first marriage - wistfully reminiscing on something that was never going to work in the long run, and wondering how my life might have been different if i had had my eyes open a bit more.

You make a good point! Now that you mention it, I think that about the time that I was realizing that psychiatry was doing nothing (or very little) to help me is about the time that I was at my worst and suicidal. I felt "abandoned" or lost and didn't know where to turn.I'm out of it now. I can only imagine those that have not escaped that psychological institution without taking their own lives. It's a terrible trap.
