As a person with depression, I have to both take my antidepressant and watch my thoughts. Balance.  |
I just get irked when meds are seen as answer for everything. Once I ranted to somebody about my class for which I was supposed to write a paper and nobody gave us instructions how, on what shall we focus... so on. Somebody suggested to see my doctor for anti-anxieties. Yes, I was anxious, but for a reason...
and I heard stories about Ts who recommend you see shrink each time they don't know answer to your problems. Trouble with boyfriend? Apparently, there's meds for that.
I do think we can control ourself to a degree. Nothing gives you excuse to take it out on others... and when it happens, you gotta make amends. Cause it can happen... even to normals. Don't blame your brain... try to learn from it. You wouldn't want to be on recieving end of some crazy person who uses crazy as excuse.
