Answers:

there r some dumb peeps that will take anything their doctor/nurse throws at them but i believe that anyone with a mental illness can at least IMPROVE some aspects of their life & illness by taking the correct medication. i mean when ur too far gone...ur just gone and ain't no medicine bringing u back from outer space!

i am bi-polar and w/out my medicine i get real agitated, hopeless and depressed, like a black veil has been thrown over your head and the weird part is that when ur depressed or having an "episode", it almost feels comforting to just wallow in every miserable bit of it.

my sister is manic-depressive and as for that illness i AM POSITIVE anyone could harm their children if left untreated. i unfortunatley have lived through unimaginable nightmares regarding my nephew now 16 and an A+ student. luckily my mother is a very involved grandma and has had partial custody since he was 2 and full custody of him since he was 7 -not to mention his 4 yr old sister from birth and a 20 month old brother we just learned of
-whom we are now fighting for 6 states away.
and NO there is absolutely no law to force any kind of birth-control onto people like my sister, whom often has the mentality of that of a 7 year old.

i suppose severe cases of bi-polar disorder could produce similar tragedies but prob only if accompanied by schizophrenia/other mental issues, heavy drug/alcohol abuse, or continued relapses (episodes). Every episode damages the brain more and more beyond recovery so bi-polar disorder left untreated for a long period of time can become manic-depressive disorder, etc. drug use often has the same effect.

sorry to ramble on but maybe those who might not know much about this, can gain a little insight and stay involved for the childrens' sake!
