Life is awesome - argumentum ad populum

[Shell B]

Well, that was a well thought out response. I'm afraid I have to disagree and have already explained why. What you are saying goes against authentic medical study. The idea that mental illness can be "cured" without medication comes from the handful of mental illnesses that can be treated with cognitive behavioral therapy and/or exercise. Given that there are many more than just those few and that even those few do not always respond to such treatments, your statements are clearly incorrect and your objections to my statements clearly based on your opinion on the subject. I would trot out the reasons I know this and that I believe you are stating an opinion based on the popular anti psych medication fad. However, I do not feel it is necessary, given that the only opposition to the fact that meds are life saving for some people with mental illness and many require them to function has so far been a nut case with a phallic dinosaur for an avatar and a "you're wrong." I realize that my manner of speaking irks some people, but I don't care to hear a half-assed opinion on this matter -- I hear enough of those. Again, I sincerely hope that people like you do not give advice to mentally ill people. That is what doctors are for.
