Unfortunately true.

It’s a bit unfair to compare something life threatening to something not immediately life threatening.

Also, psychiatric care is really just a nice way of saying, “mind-altering drugs”.

Not life threatening? You’ve clearly never experienced or known someone with a severe mental illness. Up to 90% of people who commit suicide have a mental illness.

Eating disorders, mood disorders, anxiety and self harm have many life threatening effects on the body, e.g. malnutrition, gastrointestinal complications, increased risk of cardiovascular disease, risk of wounds becoming infected, nerve damage. People struggling to get the mental health care they need find themselves in ER’s, jail cells and psychiatric hospitals for their immediate safety.

The risk of this can be minimised with proper treatment, which can consist of medication but also includes psychotherapy, occupational and social work, emergency care and other treatments as appropriate for each patient.

Kidney patients can be kept alive on dialysis for years while awaiting a transplant.

Also, your “mind-altering drugs”? These are part of why I can go to school, have an internship, maintain friendships, and be a reasonably responsible family member. Meds are a complement to therapy and make it work better. Honestly, if I were not taking prescribed medication, I would probably be taking some “mind-altering drugs” that had worse side effects than dry mouth.

Mental illness is in part both caused and reflected by physical/chemical disturbances in the brain. In physical illness, medication is often used to aleviate symptoms or address causes. Psychotropic drugs do the same thing. They are a medical response to a medical problem.

People need to stop thinking mental illness isn’t serious

They also need to stop thinking psychiatric drugs are all useless.

what the actual fuck is wrong with psychiatric meds being “mind-altering”???

when i am unmedicated, my mind tells me i cannot leave the house or i will die, that i should lay on the floor for days on end and not eat, that i should hurt myself and/or others.

WHY WOULD ANYONE NOT WANT THAT TO BE ALTERED.

PLEASE ALTER MY MIND. IT IS WRONG ON ITS OWN.

“When she was a little girl, her family took her to Disney World. Her grandfather loved her very much and bought her a tinkerbell dress and they went to watch the parade. She was was sitting on the curb as the Peter Pan float passed by. Peter Pan jumped off the moving float and ran up to her and said “Tinkerbell! I’ve been looking for you!” The parade went on. The girl grew up and lived a nice life. She’s older now, but she still believes in faries.”
