Meds altered my mother’s behavior (when she would take them) but did not really treat the underlying problems. I believe in more natural remedies and therapies and wish we could have tried that but her drs were always focused on the drugs! I have little “good faith” in medications either...or some of those drs in cahootsJerseyLilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18381518701383106141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3343295804928403795.post-76340236272833778362012-09-11T08:13:07.698-04:002012-09-11T08:13:07.698-04:00JeerseyLily,

It must be so hard for you. <br />I think mental illness has many different phases and aspects, so it is very hard to define, even to patients themselves. <br />Actually, I don't have good "faith" on medication, I think many mental problems can be treated for better result with therapies.

Often when someone is mentally ill, that is exactly the way they feel. I know a great deal about this topic since my late mother was diagnosed bipolar (back when it was called manic depression). All her life she refused help, a product of the type of illness she had, JerseyLilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18381518701383106141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3343295804928403795.post-76903319586469524642012-08-10T11:42:38.190-04:002012-08-10T11:42:38.190-04:00Melody, nice to see you.

I agree with you - there are many undiagnosed, and there are many wrongly diagnosed and wrongly treated! What is the answer? Better and more thorough scientific study mixed with compassion?? You bring up some very tricky issues here...Melody Loweshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11002751328005302730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3343295804928403795.post-20481330888506174612012-08-09T18:32:27.587-04:002012-08-09T18:32:27.587-04:00Thanks!
