Getting of psychiatric drugs

[Guest guest]

I expected serious discourse when I offered my opinion. To date, my post has

been attacked and I've been accused of something for which there is no basis.

With one exception, the content of my post has been completely ignored. I don't

understand why.

 

At no point did I make a statement to any extreme including any disrespect for

vitamins and CAM. I am, in fact, a member for a reason. Personal success with

a regimen is not compelling however true the success might be. As I understand

the thread, the topic was bi-polar as a widespread issue. I am glad each of you

has had success. God bless you. Perhaps I mis-read the topic.

 

Be advised, this is not an apology. I work, on a voluntary basis, with many

people who suffer from mental illness. Over the last nine years, I personally

have witnessed five suicides, the loss of seven homes due to manic episodes (the

result of financial excess), fourteen marriages lost and seven families driven

into homeless shelters...all the result of BPAD. Perhaps CAM would have

prevented all these eventualities.

 

If, in fact, your assessment is true, don't each of you hold responsibility to

extend yourselves further than a to spread the message? You hold the

key to a health problem that effects between 1-4% of the worldwide population.

If I had such a solution, personally, I'd find a way to help that many people.

I don't have such a solution. As such, I volunteer to help those who suffer.

 

In consideration of the position that CAM can have the effect supposed, will it

also solve schizophrenia? My experience, although limited to only twenty-two

schizophrenics has demonstrated to me that schizophrenia exists along the

continuum of mental illness occupied by BPAD. The question, while is looks

sarcastic, is not. Please advise.
