........I have said it in one way or another before: Our brains and bodies (not really separate) act like ecosystems. They can adapt and change throughout our lives and generationally. No jungle develops the same way. Jungles are a complicated mashup of plants and animals and parasites and microorganisms. It is able to adapt effectively on its own to changing environmental conditions. It is humans that actually capable of killing the entire ecosystem of a jungle. Your brain works the similarly. The whole "are you right brained or left brain?" is bs too. You are both. If one goes the other takes over.

Doctors are not trained to treat ecosystems. They are trained to treat machines. They are trained to look for and treat disabilities. They aren't trained to help you adapt to your world. They do not study Anthropology or sociology or art history which would teach diversity and the ability to adapt naturally. It might be comforting to believe there is a magic bullet but it is NEVER going to cure you. On the other hand people with disorders are adapting their environments, adapting their brains and living satisfying lives without meds all the time. So yeah, if you want to "fit in" believe the myth and take the pills without question. I'm doing it except I am questioning it. I wouldn't apologize for taking the meds or questioning it. The meds help me earn money so I can get out and adapt my life and I don't have to chemically force myself to fit in. This really shouldn't be radical thinking. It is very much easier and less complicated to comply. Luckily I have access to resources that will help me do this. 5 years ago I would not have been able to find any (I looked).
