meds, meds, meds. I don't know, honestly.

I became anti-meds after a horrible hospitalization. It was a private, for profit facility. They "taught me a lesson" alright. Hell on earth.

I'm now...selective, about my treatment providers and the psych drugs. I also take tons of supplements (Orthomolecular).

There's a lot of abuse going on in psychiatry. Always has been, always will be, especially when you come in low status and/or stigmatized. In my own life, I've seen that having my now higher status, more "comfortable" parents solidly behind me has made a world of difference in how I'm treated. They don't "roll out the red carpet" or anything, but...I get some compassion, some much needed -space-, etc.

I don't have a solid, real answer. Maybe one day the world will move past psychiatry, on to a better way of dealing with human beings with problems.

yeah but if the chemical imbalance theory is true, it's as bad as a physical problem. I wish one day to be med free but I don't see it now.
Not with all my symptoms. there has to be something wrong with my brain chemistry..
