[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 276162, member: 84"] Well. That was an interesting read. Travis has not ever been medicated nor in treatment for any of his disorders. And he functions no worse (sometimes better) than others diagnosed at about his level. I just saw no point. The large majority of his dxes are caused by brain injury, the autism made worse by it. medications just weren't for him. I'm all for getting rid of the stigma of mental illness. But yet this movement in a way is almost silly. Someone who can function with a diagnosis would probably not seek out medications or treatment, and others most likely wouldn't see the need. For those who can't or are a danger to themselves or others.....well, we already know how that is. Honestly, I don't care for the way docs throw medications at a person and wait to see how they work. Most of the medications used for mental illness are actually medications for developed for other illnesses. I'd like to see more [B]research[/B] into mental illnesses, and not just the popular one's of the day. Research into medications created specificaly for certain dxes that work and actually help those patients. First a "movement" took away the vast majority of hospitals these patients needed, and now another wants to take away the medications.:knockedout: [/QUOTE]
