They have me on a form of Prozac right now ever since I have a major surgery.
Being silly is so fun!
Then my doctor prescribed Zoloft. It has helped me to be able to control my thoughts, or at least slow them down enough to think things over rationally.
Drugs are not for everyone or the complete answer. They are not always the right answer.
I think, for me, the time it took to prescribe the zoloft and the years of therapy and looking through my mental health history is what lead to the Zoloft.
you don't have a mental illness. you have a dysfunction somewhere in your body.
it is NOT a mental illness. it may be a physical dysfunction or a coping dysfunction. but its not mental. all those drugs you take all clearly state in the PDR "mechanism of action unknown". they have no idea what works and what doesn't. the side effects are not worth it.
Why can't you understand that I believe fully in mental illness and that I have bipolar. It was not a cake walk to get here either. How do you explain all the troubles going away when I was diagnosed properly for once? And it's been four years now. Doing great! I know it works for me. I know what I have and how to treat it. You don't know me or my life at all so you cannot suggest via the internet that I do not have a mental illness. That is highly ill informed.
you can believe anything you choose. it doesn't mean its true. the causes of bipolar are not even known by psychiatrists or psychology let alone medicine.
did it ever occur to you that perhaps you wanted a diagnosis and accepted that version and so it appeared that it worked? placebo's work that way too.
your own psychiatrist can't diagnose it either. they "suspect" it is this or that. there is no test to use to determine it. psychiatry is based on human behavior. the drugs they suggest you need are not worth it. perhaps natural remedies to mood swings would be in order.
i was speaking of bipolar issues. bipolar seems to be more of a behavior issue. lack of coping mechanisms. lack of learning in how to deal with situations.
dangerous to whom?? geez!
i was questioning your glowing endorsement of drugs . they are dangerous. to all bodily systems,the side effects are the worst and make the any benefits pale in comparison. this is why psychiatrists are constantly changing drugs.
menatl illness is different than bipolar disorder,you even said that yourself when you called it "a chemical imbalance". thats physiological not mental.
Anyway, good day to you. No hard feelings ok? I certainly wasn't calling you a liar and I never said your experience is invalid. Just not my experience at all. You weren't the one suffering from bipolar either. So, you don't know what it's like.
Bipolar disorder, also known as manic-depressive disorder, is an illness characterized by two components: extreme highs and extreme lows. It is a disease that can incapacitate a person's life, leaving them with a feeling of hopelessness and helplessness. This disorder has become a household term, now affecting 5.7 million Americans. The cause is not completely understood, but it is thought that lack of proper nutrition may play a part in the growing number of people suffering from this condition. Therefore, supplying the body with the proper nutrients and supplements may provide important help in correcting this disorder.
In addressing a bipolar disorder, just as with any other health condition, diet is crucial. It is important to give the body the proper nutrients it needs. Oftentimes, poor nutrition is at least partly responsible for an impending condition. It is thought that the decreasing amounts of vitamins and minerals in our food supply and the SADs diet is responsible for the increasing numbers of people diagnosed as bipolar.
Removing unhealthy foods and stimulants that can aggravate symptoms should be a priority. Sugar, fatty foods, and caffeine are all irritants which contribute to manic episodes. On ...

Removing unhealthy foods and stimulants that can aggravate symptoms should be a priority. Sugar, fatty foods, and caffeine are all irritants which contribute to manic episodes. On the other hand, alcohol, a depressant in its own right, will contribute to the depressive episodes. Removing these harmful ingredients from one's diet may improve, if not eliminate, these symptoms.
In Part II of this segment we will go into detail as to how proper nutrition, together with the appropriate supplements can lessen to eliminate bipolar symptoms.

Sorry to bother you and I truly hope you don't end up sick like the millions who are hooked on dangerous drugs and not interested in properly addressing the root causes.
