[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 575967, member: 1514"] Psychiatric medications are not a cure because psychiatric illnesses are for the most part lifelong illnesses. I have been known to refer to bipolar as a terminal illness. Depression is different from bipolar and should be treated with different medications. Yes antidepressants can cause mania in some people and sometimes those people end up being bipolar. We all run the risk of side effects from the medications we take. For me, I will most likely be on them the rest of my life and that is sometimes a scary thought. But in order to function in this world, I have to take some type of medication. Its sort of a ****ed if you do and ****ed if you dont situation. [/QUOTE]
