there as absolutely nothing wrong with medicating patients with mental health!.
it is a range of treatable issues just like physical ones such as diabetes and hypertension!.
and if medication is what works to provide a good outcome then why shouldn't people take it!?
i personally was on Avanza for depression last year and it worked well and i no longer needed it after a few months!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Nothing qualifies me to tell someone not to take their meds, but if someone has already decided to stop taking them, I will recommend they do it gradually and under doctor's supervision!. I am on Celexa myself right now!. I suffer from depression and hypomania, which is not as severe as full-blown mania, but it's bad enough!. I am not on any mood stabilizers because by being pretty strict with my caffeine and sugar intake I have been able to manage the hypomania without medication!. Some people don't want to take meds, and for others, every med they have tried doe not help, so they have to find alternative ways of dealing with their mental illness!. Actually, I think that anyone with a mood disorder should get counselling, wether they are on meds or not!. Meds are not the be-all-end-all solution!. I know that a lot of my sh*t stems from family of origen issues, and medication is not going to make those issues or my unhealthy coping mechanisms go away!. I still have to work through all my family garbage!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Well I've suffered with depression for half of my life!. Because of health conditions!.
Medication for depression arent the solution for me as they can interfere with my medications I'm on for the physical health!. Which is why I suggest natural ways if their drugs dont work for them!. As not everyone can handle drugs!.
I've never claimed to be qualified!. I just say what I found works for me or others that I know!.
Sometimes the best things for people is for them to be on medications!. However medications arent the solutions for everyone!. So it takes trial , and adjustment to dosages or totally different drugs!. To get the proper help!.
However some people will say they need drugs, when they dont!. As they just want to avoid their own reality!. (NOT EVERYONE) but some I know !.
So it depends on the reasons and the reactions to their problems!. As well as are they seeking other solutions to their dilemma and troubles beside the drugs therapies!.!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

I never told anyone to stop taking their medications but I do believe in some cases the medication makes people worse!. Take anti-depressants, for example!. Virtually anyone can get diagnosed with depression these days and the first thing a doctor does with the diagnosis is put you on Prozac or Zoloft!. These pills have been proven to lead to suicide yet the medical industry still sells them to perfectly healthy people by running misleading TV commercials on every channel!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
the only people who tell others meds are so damn dangerous
are the ones who don't even know a thing about the effectiveness of meds OR the disorder itself!.
i hate how people say to others who actually NEED the medication to function that it's 'not healthy' and they should learn to deal with it and take responsibility!. the thing that makes me mad is how people say stimulants are speed and how little kids shouldn't be on it because blah blah blah!. i have been taking stimulants for my ADHD since 2nd grade, i'm in 11th now!.!.!.i went off of them from 8th-10th and i DID try to do exercise and all that but i just got worse and worse as the days went by!. i was a very healthy kid when i was little on meds, i still am a very healthy guy now with meds!. there's no damage to childrens brains when on stimulants!.!.!.!.because they HELP the brain!. some parents say ADD/ADHD doesn't exist, they sure are totally wrong!. some parents think that if theyre kid is on stimulants for ADD/ADHD their personality is different, it's not!. it's just the medicine working!.!.
i mean!.!.!.i have ADHD and bipolar disorder type I, i am very responsible at being just 17!.!.!.i'm not into drugs, smoking, or drinking at all and i choose to stay away from kids who do it!. if i didn't actually need stimulants for my ADHD, i wouldn't be on it!. but now i know that i truly do!.!.!.!.and the BP thing!? well i sure as hell know i need that!.
people are so ignorant!.!.!.!.!.i don't get why they think psychiatric drugs are so dangerous to those who need it when they should be more worried about how the president is ruining everyones lives and how to stop drug dealers and junkies on the street and protecting their kids from weed and all of that!.
i know that some people have gone very psycho on antidepressants, but thats not very common!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I personally don't believe medication is bad!. It's a personal choice however!.
For me, it regulates the chemical imbalance in my brain that causes me to have depression and anxiety!.
I take Celexa!.
Nothing makes me qualified to decide or give out advice, I'm just basing it on personal experience!.
Only a doctor or psychiatrist can decide whether or not you should take them!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
