What if you never lost your mind? That's what they all say to give you the drugs to help you. This guy is "schizophrenic" so we must give him medicine. And they pretend to care but they don't know what the medicine does. It just matters that it is FDA approved like PRIME and then even children can get it. In my opinion these psychiatrists and therapists have no idea what they are doing. They are just pretending to help you, giving you more prescriptions. If they didn't give you any prescriptions, they would just be called psychologists. You know, the guys who listen to you and try to give solutions without setting you on drugs.
But no we must give drugs to children. Was I not a child at 16 years old? If I knew what it does and that it was painful or impossible to come off from, I would have never agreed to take it. It is just a scam in my opinion. The entire dsm classifications in psychiatry is a scam to put people on drugs legally.

I hear your frustration. We don't yet have the medicine we need to treat many mental illnesses, so it's a bit like getting polio or something, back before we knew how to fully cure it.
A good friend of my wife is going through a manic episode right now: she's left her husband and kid, is living (for now) in a motel, and has stopped speaking to any of her friends. No one can do anything, because even if they could force a pill down her throat, there's no such magic pill.
So, it's all fucked up: what do you do? You can use it as an excuse to give up, but that's the path my wife's friend took. Sanity can be incredibly hard to get back once you've lost it.
Or do you say fuck! Nothing in life is ever fucking easy: half the doctors are incompetent, and more than half of the drugs don't work (or have terrible side effects) ... but, even so, you don't give up. You try different doctors, drugs, diets, exercise, meditation, and so on ... until you're in a place you can live sane and comfortably.
