There are a lot of people who have sought help from professionals and others who go it alone. I have been told I have a treatment resistant illness. Even so, I accept and endorse the idea I am solely responsible for my well being.

A problem for me is how so many view their own perception of how to deal with mental illness as a universal truth. This kind of discrimination is just as unhelpful as the thought a pill will fix everyone. Frankly, I see a lot of mischaracterization of what goes on and have sited many articles that back me up.

Those who will be critical of me for saying this I find amusing. Often those who disagree with me employ criticism very similar to the criticism they view as offensive when it is targeted at them.

Such is life.
