I am not in favor of people taking meds if they are not needed. BUT I know WAY too many people who would truly benefit from meds (as in: have a functional life, stop losing jobs and relationships, not live in a filthy home, etc.) if they just took medication. Frankly, I allow myself limited or no contact with people I know who obviously need meds but refuse to take them. I don't think that anyone *likes* being on medication, but some of us have to accept that medication helps not only ourselves, but those who are around us.
