That might be true in many cases depending on the person, but not always.
What about the patients who, after being intoxicated by the drugs, committed acts of violence and even suicide?
Did they get any benefit which outweighed those side effects?
You left out the word possible there. Medications don't help everyone and they're probably prescribed more often than necessary. People really should be super careful when starting new meds.
I wasn't discussing that though.
I was discussing the reason some people are willing to take that risk.
Using myself as an example. Living like this since before I even got divorced. Building my walls, staying inside, afraid of people, losing time, never sleeping. I had a choice to make. I had exhausted so many options already. I have three kids who need me. Do I try these medicines. Do I allow myself that one last hope that one last chance? Or do I give up? Well, I am a mother, giving up is not an option. So I decided it was worth the risk and I took as many precautions as I could to make sure if the meds don't go over well there will be no serious repercussions. I'll let you know how it goes haha.
