Question about meds?!
Question: Question about meds!?
this being a mental health forum im sure im going to go against sum people opinions!. i am wondering if you guys believe medication is neccessary for mental issues!. i understand if sumeone is bipolar or has ocd, because they are chemically unbalanced, but what about depression!? do you believe we should make patients become relient on this medication!? i have had my father become dependent on this medication and it causes him to feel uneasy without it!? so what im wondering is, should we stop centering around medication!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

I work on a psychiatric unit at a hospital; I've worked in mental health for 5 years!. I am a firm believer in medications to treat mental illness, however I know patients that are dead set against using any medications!. Everyone has their own opinions on the matter and you should do what you feel is appropriate!. I do know thousands of people who have benefited from the use of anit-depressants and other psychotropics!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Depression, bi-polar, etc!.!.!. they both are caused mainly by chemical imbalances, genetic predisposition, heredity!.!.!. though some people can live medication free and function just fine, other's need just some extra help to get them by and I don't see anything wrong with it!.
The dependency part of it is a shame, but if it helps a person be the best person that they can be (had they not had the disorders) then I don't see anything wrong with it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
