Counterpoint: Meds have probably saved my life. I know at least two other people who would say the same.

Meds don't work for everyone. Just because they didn't work for you doesn't mean they don't work for others. It's up to the doctor and his/her patient to determine the best course of treatment.

Intentionally stigmitizing medication is not only contributing to the problem... it can be downright dangerous. Any mental health professional will tell you that.

Your anti-medication rhetoric throughout this thread is not useful. Please reconsider your approach.
