You seem to draw a huge distinction between modern psyche drugs (synthetic) and herbs tinctures and supplements. I do not draw that distinction. They are all chemicals and can help. You yourself use them. I don't want to start an argument because I think we probably mostly agree.

yeah, I am a supplement junkie.
The point is... it's just one of the things. I am not taking SJW and putting my dreams on hold while waiting for it to make me perfectly okay and without trace of depression.
As I said before, if I had waited for my depression to go away, I wouldn't have my master's degree, would never go to Albania or Crimea or Russia. And I would be more and more miserable and ever increasing medication coctail, thinking "oh, my "illness" is getting worse, I cannot do anything". Would it be my bipolar that robbed me of these things or my effed up thinking? Sure many things didn't work out. I wanted to be EVS in the wilder parts of Europe... that was not in the cards. I wanted to have career by now instead of mere job, but I am not giving up yet. Maybe I can be a war correspondent still (another dream that didn't work out... yet?).
Point is... it's a lot about you and your aims. Everything else is moot if you self-sabotage.

Modern forms of therapy, studies on meditation, and such I think are big advancements in mental health. More so than drugs. CBT and meditation is proven to change the brain.

Meditation is not "modern", btw. Is really psychiatry trying to take credit for that? Is that the progress? Oooopsie, drugs failed... let's steal eastern philosophies?
