Thank you Beth for responding! It is ridiculous how it’s advertised that meds solve all of our problems but they don’t. I often wonder how people in tribal groups deal with mental illness or if they don’t even make it an issue. Like what did they do before becoming “civilized.” My mom started taking meds again during her depression but she’s off them again because they didn’t work after a month. She’s lived with bipolar since her 20s and just goes through it. If I didn’t have a job and a child I probably would do the same.
