This. Society has turned mental illness into a scary, incurable phrase that turns otherwise normal people into unhinged loonies. We, as a species, barley understand how our synapses and neurons communicate and fire back and forth. Our understanding of consciousness itself is fetal at best. Not to sound like Tim Robbins, but if you really set your mind to overcoming your personal struggles, you can change your life with willpower. Mental illness or not.

D3V, I agree with that attitude and mindset. But if your chemical balance is broken, then it needs to be fixed. You would be amazed what cognitive behavioral therapy can do. It usually starts out 25% CBV, 75% med, then 50/50, and slowly to 100 CBV so no meds are involved.
