I thinnk people just *want* to belive certain things. Some people just put blinders up.
>So very true, we do agree on one thing.
I for one do not have blinders on. I do believe certain things. For Example:
1. Scary behavior while one is on an A/D is not always the meds fault. Could it not be true that the very problem that caused this person to seek meds also caused the behavior? Yes, it could.
2. If a person who has led a relatively problem free existance for 40 years, suddenly faces, lets say, 10 tragedies/losses in a fairly short time, suddenly feels numb, can't work, can't get out of bed, can't socialize, can't eat, can't cry, doesn't really feel much, and this lasts for 2-3 years, do you really think that this person is going to hop up one day in remission? When all efforts at talking and "clean Living" haven't changed a da*n thing? I wonder what damage has already been done to this person's brain chemistry, spirit, and body? Don't you?
3. Lets just leave that person in bed and wait for a drug that ABSOLUTELY has no long term adverse effects. Lets wait for a drug that works for THE REST OF THIS PERSONS LIFE, when said med may only be needed for say, 1 year to restore this persons chemistry.
4. Hel*, Lets not even have a look at what meds have worked on similar cases because, well, that med might show signs of toxicity when this formally fully functioning person turns 99.
5. Might, maybe, could. I could be run over by a truck tomorrow. I'm betting this person doesn't just "want to", but DOES believe that NO LIFE is far more dangerous than a lot of A/D's on the market. In fact, I'm CERTAIN of it.
