No offense but I call Bulls*** on this. Meds do a lot. They saved my life in fact. They dont dim the lights on emotions, they help keep the emotions from completely taking over a person so they cant function, Yes it is up to us in the basic sense but depression, bipolar and other diagnosable conditions are not controlled (for the most part ) as mind over matter. its great that you dont need meds. I forget the actual stats but I believe it was like 75% of people with a mental illness need them. You sound very judgey.
