We may be Link. I know there is a lot of skeptical views on psychiatry now - all the points you have are valid.
I have to say for myself that I have seen a great difference in me with and without any medication. I guess that I will have to juggle the meds back and forth, but it is well worth it. Shadows not being able to drive vs. Shadows being able to drive. It's an easy choice.
I think there needs to be way more research. I hope there will be more choses on the horizon. But, even with the disappointment, there has been growth of knowledge about meds, chemistry, and the goal of helping mental suffering. We all have to hang in there with each other and not give up. It 's not easy. I have been at the brink many times the past few years. If I didn't have a wisp of inner strength to think about how it would affect a loved one, I would have been long gone.
