Excercise, healthy eating, sleep, & therapy are some of the most important things you can do. And who says you need the meds forever, yanno? There's always a silver lining.

Absolutely right. Not everyone needs meds and there are various reasons why some won't take them. Some manage just fine without them, and others need them to help them feel better and to function better. And you're right, the non-medication methods of making ourselves healthier can help with symptom management as well. And sometimes people need the meds to help them get into a particular state of mind so they can help themselves through non-pharmaceutical means (therapy, exercise, etc.)
Either way, it's great information. Thanks again for sharing it.
