I am growing weary of watching videos and reading articles by doctors who believe that depression, bi polar, psychosis, ADHD, PTSD, OCD, Autism.....are not even real things. I find it invalidating and insulting. I have my own experience and the experience of many other people I have known to know they are very real. I wonder about that lady I knew who went and test drove a brand new Mustang and convinced herself it was hers in a manic episode and brought it home. A couple of days later the cops came and told her it wasn't hers. She didn't believe in meds and I witnessed a number of her manic episodes. I could tell you stories.
