It all comes down to some combination of medication and living that work for the individual. Another poster on another thread made mention that she didn't want to offend me with her response but I was OK with it because different stuff works for different people. I can say with 100% confidence that there's not one single person in the world that can offer a cure-all.
Also, keep in mind that people with other health issues (like cancer) take all sorts of chemo, anti virals, anti fungals, anti nausea, dietary supplements, etc and no one really questions it. When it comes to mental illness, there seems to be some constant questioning about medication in society. IMO, I think it links back to the fact that there's no pathology to mental illness. Medication, in part, is a logical step.
