It may just be a tiny bit long-winded, as you said.

But you convince more people if you are more nuanced. You are more nuanced if you are less manic. You may use meds just to blend in. But maybe other things may help you too. If you can't do those other things, you may use meds just for a while.

Not all meds are equally harmful. Xanax and Valium are (see how nuanced I am ), mood stabilisers might not be strictly necessary, but antipsychotics may help you. You don't have to take them always, but do take them if others advice you to or you know you are becoming suspicious, for example.

But it's always nice to hear an honest and rather selfless opinion than a nuanced deception. And there's definitely some truth in what you say. But the more you assert, the more likely you're wrong.

If you're truly doing fine than all's fine. I wouldn't file a complaint though. Not with such bluntness.
