[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 30466, member: 84"] This story had no real impact except for the poor little girl passing away unecessarily. That is always a tragedy. I grew up surrounded my mental illness. I saw what medications could do, and I saw behavior off medications. For T I thought long and hard about it. Docs wanted medications for him. I decided not to. T is a threat to no one. Most of his issues are brain damage related. Most are more annoying than anything. He functions fine off medication even if it isn't at a "normal" level. N was another matter all together. Still I thought long and hard about it. I know more than the average person about good and bad effects of medications. But unlike her brother, off medications N is a threat to herself and others. She can't function hardly at all without her medication. Once she is on the right ones at the right doses she becomes stable. The effect is dramatic to say the least. I've run across psychiatrists who weren't worth the paper their diploma was printed on, and I've found those that were awesome. Pretty much the same with tdocs. But you can find this in all areas of medicine not just psychiatry. I tend to like psychiatrists who aren't afraid to medicate, yet aren't in a hurry to do so or to increase doses unless there is a need. N is actually on pretty low doses of all her medications even after more than 2 yrs. I hope she is able to stay with this psychiatrist for a long time to come. [/QUOTE]
