[Doc Faustus]

Overmedication is a big problem. More holistic means need to be found for dealing with psychological disorders, which are very real. Yes, other factors can affect a person's personality, but it's about degrees. Talking too much doesn't make you manic. Talking for twelve hours straight to different people as they walk in and out of the room does. Sulking and eating ice cream doesn't prove you're depressed. Sulking and carving "Monster" on your arm does. Some people have mood swings. My grandfather needed to be wrestled down by three cops after pulling a knife on the priest who was trying to convince him to go in for help. He recieved electroconvulsives for it. What does this prove? Mental illness is more than the tides or the stars, but it is not treated right. I'm happier meditating, having regular, healthy monogamous sex, working out, reading tarot, interpreting my dreams and praying for guidance than I was on Lithium. I still know that I'm bipolar and I have to watch out for it. The carjacking can happen. It's a fact of life, but just because you might get carjacked doesn't mean you shouldn't ever be the one that's driving.
