[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 685702, member: 1550"] Ic is absolutely right for some of the mentally ill. But there is no excuse for not trying to get help. It took me ten years to find the right medications and therapy but I did not abuse drugs to feel better. Its an option not to self medicate. I have a laundry list of a lifetime of mental health issues and learning differences... Mood disorder with suicidal, ideation, severe non verbal learning disabilit, other learning difficulties, generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder and some Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Through.the years and constantly trying to improve, I DID improve on every level and my life has been good and getting better since my 40s on up. Sadly, some people can't be helped. I know people who are never quite right. And they have tried. But I know just as many mentally ill who made sure they'd definitely stay sick by abusing drugs in ways not prescribed by a psychiatrist. If you are taking psychiatric medications you need to give many of them 6 to up to 8 weeks to kick in. And adding alcohol or even pot can make the prescribed medications useless. You cant mix the medications with your own little additions. Suicide is sad. One has to feel hopeless to be there. I have. Im glad now I didnt do it. I was so suicidal I considered asking for ECT. That was when I finally found an antidepressant that has made me able to live normally, when ten other ones had not worked enough. At the time it was a brand new medication and a miracle for me. Never give up since new ones with less side effects keep becoming invented and one never knows which will work for hIM. I didnt expect this new pill.to work sinse none of the others had So glad girlfriends mom softened and wishing everyone healing. [/QUOTE]
