[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 670652, member: 14557"] Depends. Most times they can to certain degree. During for example severe psychosis they can't. But even during their better times for many it is much more of a struggle than for average person. And often the need is higher than for average person. To treat mental illness well, you often have to have much more structured and self-disciplined lifestyle than most people have. And even then mental illness can not be controlled any more than for example cancer or epilepsy. medications often help some, for some a lot, lifestyle helps, but still; they do not cure and sometimes despite everything illness just has a new outbreak. And sometimes people lose the battle. And no, they are no more responsible for that than those who lose battle with cancer. Some of them could had done more to have the better odds, some did everything in their power, but nothing was to be done. [/QUOTE]
