Ah, "the meds work, hence it's biological" argument.

Apparently, I suffer serious caffeine and alcohol deficiency, since I function so much more once my morning coffee kicks in and booze makes me funnier, flirtier and less socially shy (although.......... getting involved in cause seems to solved that. Two months of trying to convince people each weekend, without ripping their heads off and bursting in tears when they are assholes.......... a brutal exposure therapy but it worked... does it mean political activism fixed my chemical imbalances???).

Zinco and didn't you complain not so long about how current med stopped working for you? If it's biological shouldn't it keep working? Or is your body plain building tolerance to some mind altering stuff?

(yes, mind altering is the key. There is lots of drugs that can make you feel temporarily betta. Some of them are FDA approved. None of them solve your situation. All of them have long term risks. So if something makes you feel different, it says nothing about balances or imbalances in your brain.)


I let go long time ago. And I never been a WASP, by mere ethnicity and politics. I heard Slavs weren't really considered white at some points of history.

However, I have been here on the boards long enough to see how people who un-accepted the illness model managed to (almost) recover and very much thrive.

The illness model is not scientific, mostly because there is no realiable test showing the causation. Please, don't link me to all those sciency, schmiency tests.... they don't show direct causation.... and they are still not reliable. So to me, they are as scientific as phrenology, one big hit too.
