psychosis

[Daisy]

It works for some, not for others. By no means does it have the same effect on everybody. For some, it even effects them negatively, for others, why would they want to get "cured." It's just something that makes you an individual, we are all built differently and any description of what is "normal" is just trying to normalise people.. People are different, not all people are created equally, this is the natural aspect of our pychoisis.

Mental illnesses are not simply 'personality quirks' that make people unique.

It's not 'normal' for anyone to not be able to stop crying, or to hardly be able to get out of bed in the morning because they just can't face life, 1or to think about 'offing' one's self. Nor is it normal to hallucinate that people are trying to get you and to physically attack strangers on the street because of that hallucination.

And yes, some mediations don't work for some people, and some people have negative side-effects that are counter-productive to treatment from some medications, but that doesn't mean ALL medications do. There are a large variety of medications and sometimes it can take a little time to find the one that's right for a given patient.

Does everybody need drugs to beat depression? No, of course not. Not all depression is acute/severe and talk-therapy can work very well for those people, but the vast majority of people with severe/acute clinical depression require medication... not necessarily for the rest of their lives, but initially to help get them 'back on track'. And some do need it for the rest of their lives.

i was depressed for a long time so basically the feeling grew on to me and now thats all i feel like everyday. Even when i'm not thinking of anything sad i feel horrible. Its just so bad you cant fight it off by yourself. The feeling just clouds itself around your mind and it wont go away.

then i started realizing i'm not viewing the world in its highest clarity anymore, with all this visual snow,anexity,tiredness, and surrealness in my field of vision, and other weird things like sensitive to light and sound.. Like i'm not "fully awake" and I'm pretty sure its all becasue i was depressed for way to long and living like that which casued everything to go surreal and out of touch.

Not normal in what way? You don't suppose people have been having these since the beginning of...people? You don't suppose that none of the traits we have that aren't considered disorders are also linked biologically and genetically? I consider abnormal conditions would be of a supernatural nature. Are we supposed to cure people of hauntings and nether realms? If it pretty much happens within the constraints of the known world, I consider it natural.

But it would help to stock up on fate pills, along with your radioactive pills. And why don't we pop on over to the cloning thread because you know, due to genetic engineering we should totally level the playing field and make all babies born perfectly without defects, and all the same color hair.
