What i think is important is having a doctor whose willing to question whether the way you acted was simply as a result of you deciding to behave a certain way or whether you weren't really in control of your actions due to symptoms of your illness. |
See, I don't believe
illness causes any behavior. I
chose to behave so and so, because I feel certain way. Or because of my previous experiences in my life. Doesn't mean it's always rational, I don't the this
illness (I don't even like that term when it comes to our psyche) is some sort of devil possesion.
I mean, even if you asked few people who shop when manic (raises hand), would they really answer "illness made me do it?". Unless they were fed this line, probably not. Same with hypersexuality or whatever. Same symptom, different motivation.
And even if you subscribe to "illness made me do it", then... what? Where does one go from there? Does it really matter when you wanna stop repeating the same mistakes?
