Oh please.
But looking at the attitudes of ppl these days, will not be surprised most of them are sick.
Like the other day, I ask cashier to fill u ice, suddenly show attitude towards me.
Really feel like punching her in the face.
But then you think I have mental illness for doing that right?

Will not be affordable after a few times.
Trust me. The damage cause by the medication is going to be much higher then the actual treatment.

To endure mental illness everyday is already a great success for many, take it one day at a time, be a chronic illness fighter.

Medication can only control symptoms, cannot cure mental illness for most people with schizophrenia.
