[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 627780, member: 1550"] Highpockets, although you are right about certain dotors, even the most gifted doctor on earth can not help any patient who is unwilling to comply with medication AND put her heart and soul into her recovery. It is usually not the doctor's fault with our difficult children. It's that the difficult children don't want to listen, are disinterested in changing, getr offended, won't take the medications, substance abuse to neutralize the effects of the prescription medication and simply have no desire to change. I have had and pretty much beaten mental illness by spending most of my life working like crazy to learn about my disorder, to hone coping skills, and I never skip my medications, which were lifesavers for me...but not enough. It is the only way to get better from any illness. It is up to the patient as much as the doctor, if not more. If a talented doctor had a cancer patient who refused chemotherapy because he knew better how to treat his cancer, would you blame the doctor? It's really the same thing. [/QUOTE]
