We ARE more than just a label. I hate support groups that have you say your name followed by "and I'm ____" (whatever). I'm more than whatever.
You are right on about advertising. So many people are on the wrong meds because they insist on having one they've seen on TV or read about in an advertisement. I scheduled an appointment with my doctor to go over my meds and make sure none were having an affect on another one and to ensure I was taking the correct ones. My insurance didn't charge anything or this appointment.

I see why in ENGLAND now why your not labelled so much, has AMERICA the NHS is just 1 institution with no insurance claim everyone is deemed the same, so the less meds given save,s the NHS millions. Has on shrink once said to my yes your clearly BIPOLAR but do well on ssri and benzo combo ,so why label you and put you on more serious drugs and mood stabilisers, I tend to agree its not all a chosen formula for each illness, and I get to retain a little off the wall humour among the pain .
