So I am an advocate for taking meds. I think meds. cut down on the suicide rate for people with MI's. I see so many people who go off of their meds. and end up killing themselves.

well, would they kill themselves if they never went on psychmeds again; I heard it was going off drugs and booze that killed Amy winehouse... shall we advocate cocaine and wine too?

also meds are not the only thing that works. Some may be sensitive when people suggest meds don't work. some of us are sensitive to med pushing.

to OP... it is your choice and yours only. you carry the responsibility. au natural way is possible for many, but one has to be careful.

and I believe there is major spiritual component to MH. Until that is adressed, there will be many suffering souls. we dehumanized world and now we push pills so people can deal with it better.
