LOL. I think its the private, for profit mental health system in the US that's especially elitist. Its...interesting...now my parents and I have reconciled, they're more "well-to-do" or whatever...and I'm --finally-- receiving proper treatment.
I'm prescribed --4-- drugs, most days I Just take 1 (the Abilify, now and then a bit of gabapentin). I don't know if its me, in particular, the public/community mental health clinics in general, or...what...but...whoa, they load people up on psych drugs.
I dropped the trileptal and low dose lamictal once psychosocial stuff in my life got better. I feel much better w/o the antiepileptics, that's for sure...my thinking is much less muddled.
at least I've been spared involuntary injections of the depot drugs. --not-- something I'm interested in.
again, sorry to get all Marxist and such. I -do- have psychiatric "issues" that (thankfully...) respond to standard treatment. that's not the issue. I think its Mental Health, Inc. that I have problems with.
