i dunno. i was diagnosed with a -severe- personality disorder at age 20 and didn't want to take psych drugs...
now, my for realsies diagnosis is bipolar i. oh, and my iq estimate is higher now, somehow. so...
a) psychiatry is -not- scientific b) people can change, even w/o therapy c) avoid tranquilizers/neuroleptic/"antipsychotics" -if- you can. the brain changes, sometimes straight up brain damage, is real. the 'atypicals' aren't usually as terrible as the old school, massive doses of old tranquilizers, but...they're harsh drugs, old and new, at any dose.
