I have looked through the reading material but I'm not sure if this is an appropriate question for this forum, so please tell me if I'm wrong

My bp family member told me that they have been in therapy but that now therapy was "no longer an option" because they were told it was time to consider medication and that is just... completely out of the question for them, just asking about it makes them angry and upsets them in an "end of discussion" kind of way; I think they are afraid (they are in a manic episode right now)

Have you been opposed to medication before, and was there something that changed your mind?
