While I respect your right to an opinion, I would ask that you respect my right also. I have a diagnosis of Bipolar disorder and without medications I would not be sitting here replying today. They have saved my life. It does also take therapy, lifestyle changes, diet, exercise. Dealing with life "head-on" is fine but when you have a mental illness due to chemical imbalance your head-on approach is not sufficient. I just worry that opinions such as yours will continue to keep patients from getting the help they need. The stigma of mental illness is alive and well. So while, I respect your opinion regarding medication please keep an open mind and respect my choices too. |
