I will only ever agree to the statement "need psych meds" when someone is dxd, then with the help of professionals,tries every and all avenues toward wellness, and fails miserably at each turn BEFORE going on meds.

Most assume people with MI "need" meds because pills are shoved down your throat before you even process what the pdoc just said.

You already find yourself in the pdocs office because you're so distressed and seek answers, relief. Then everything explodes when you hear how your brain is broken and that you'll never be normal. You possibly even sit through a talk about stats and kindling theory and all the while inside you're screaming!

Screaming because you're scared and relieved,and among all this pdoc talk you hear meds and relief and how you will become appropiate and functional, and that's all you ever wanted. That's exactly why you're there, isn't it?... You have met your mental saviour, thank you God/Universe!

So even if you doooo go and research your new RX, emotionally its a done deal! That dude just gave you your happy ending! Or so you think....

Except its just the begiinning of a whole new book nevermind chapter!


So no. I dont recognize anybody that "needs" meds.

#end emotionally-charged logically well thought-out rant!
