Depending on how self destructive your symptoms manifest, I am inclined to subscribe to this view as well. I don't know how old you are. If I had a child suffering like I have, I would do some research perhaps about how long the brain continues to develop. I would think that unless symptoms are especially self destructive that I would urge my child and doctors to put off meds because so little is known how these medications affect a developing brain, but this is an extremely personal decision.
