I found this article on the internet and thought I would share it with you all because it is incredibly AWESOME. It is VERY long, though, so keep that in mind and either break it up into portions for reading/mentally-digesting it or else pick a time when you can sit down & read through it, when you will have a good chunk of time to do so.

This article really, REALLY helped me understand the medical science behind the meds used to treat various mental health issues. I had been very skeptical of meds for over 20 years because I did not understand how they really worked or why treatment with them sometimes seems like a "crap shoot". This in turn fueled, fed, and enabled my suspicions against the MH field which I saw as being an adjunct to the oppressive "system", that is, a vehicle for persecution and invalidation of those like Me in society who are Different.

Reading this article was very enlightening for me and changed my thinking a lot. It helped me to see there is very real medical science going on here, not just "snake oil" and helped me to change my opinion about the possibilities of medication for treating these issues.
