[QUOTE="MyFriendKita, post: 739601, member: 4888"] Even people who aren't mentally ill can experience psychosis, and all schizophrenics aren't psychotic all the time. And even people who have "physical illnesses" don't always follow doctors' orders and do everything they can to take care of themselves. Then there are the people who try to get help but are misdiagnosed and their conditions are made worse (especially in the mental health field). Why would those people then place their trust in doctors and therapists? That's great for you. But I know plenty who have been in treatment for decades who still aren't any better, or who spent years trying to find the right diagnosis, the right doctor, the right medication. That doesn't mean those people should be blamed for their conditions. Mental illness/mental health isn't a situation where one-size-fits-all. In the end, none of us can make someone get help, and we may decide we can't be a part of our loved one's life because of all the chaos and turmoil, but that doesn't mean we don't still have compassion for them and care deeply about them.
