I have talk therapy with a great therapist at my county mental health clinic. But my concern is about the meds supervision. The meds are reviewed every couple of months, including Primary Care and complete lab records I have to provide. Also, I have to provide a Lithium report from lab. Also, I have to remember my expiration dates and call in for refills or new prescriptions days in advance.
I don't see how people who are emotional sick, out of it, spacy from Thorazine and such,or not very able to read and think, can deal with such stringent requirements. Not everybody has a relative, spouse, or case worker to keep track of meds for them. In fact many people are alone with these problems.
