I cannot even begin to tell you how many times I have, in all my wisdom, decided that I was feeling much better and I didn't need to take my meds anymore.
These decisions were soon followed by emergency visits to the pdoc to get back on meds.

Nowdays, I don't fight it anymore. I simply look back at 3 generations of family history and count the 5 suicides and my nephew who has Touretts, Bipolar I, ADD, and OCD; and my cousin who is schizophrenic. All of these suicides and illnesses are on my dad's side of the family.

I've got MI and alcoholism on both sides of my family too. Suicide attempts, etc. One who succeeded but it was an overdose of something illegal so no one knows if it was intentional or not. Some say it was murder but I doubt it...he was an addict, albeit a friendly one. Maybe he did just get some bad drugs.
Anywhose, it's def in the blood and once triggered only goes into remission with the right treatment plan. Sad but true.
