This thread is retarded. I have suffered with clinical depression my whole life and with paranoid delusions as well. Until 1994 I always just controlled it myself but I eventually broke down and ended up in the Hospital. Once that happened I could not control the suicidal thoughts and the depression. Medication eventually saved me. Took 10 years but we finally found the right mix to alleviate my problems. The difference is like night and day.
I still have depression and suicidal thoughts but under total control. I take an anti psychotic which turned off the voice in my head as well. Medication is proven to help up to 80 percent of those afflicted.
I am sorry for your problems. I really am.
BUT I never stated that these problems don't exist,
AND, they haven't cured it at all. Agreed?
I am rather sure there are ways outside of the mainstream to cure this, but you have to be open to these possibilties en no shrink will tell you about it, They just don't know.
There is so much more to this.
But again my point is that there is no proof or evidence for
a psychiatric illnes as a biological thing.
There is
NO CHEMICAL IMBALANCE at all! No proof of this, nothing!
Maybe that is better explained what I mean.
