Of course. Mental illness is a disease that needs treating like any other illness. To refuse medication would be damn foolish.

I used to flat out refuse something like that, thinking that it would somehow make me less clear or not think like myself, but I think that if I were offered a prescription now, I would take it in order to feel better.

I have had a traumatic time and I'm on anti-anxiety medication. Sometimes, you need pills, if only for a short while. When I have dealt with this, no doubt, I'll reduce and then, come off them.

I need to be on antidepressants and not because I am sad, but because I just dont care about alot of **** I should. I am avoiding the medication for as long as you can. So far I am okay.

I've been on about a dozen different antidepressants, which don't work (for me).
I don't think I'd go on any head meds unless I was psychotic.

No, but that's probably bad advice.

It depends on the person and how they handle their illness.
