[quote="seanetal"]As the administrator and owner of this site I personally think whatever works in order to help with mental illness is a good thing. For some people that happens to be medication, for others dietary or lifestyle changes.
hi seanatel,
i don't really know where guest got that idea that this is a pro-psychiatric -medication site. there is even a forum here for those who are anti-psychiatry. I always thought that the administrators here were very open-minded and accepting, which i'm very thankful for. I came and found this forum after leaving one particular site that was very pro-psychiatry. (
www.schizophrenia.com) They were not at all accepting of my feelings and choices and were actually quite rude. After finding out that i was not on any antipsychotic meds because of my own personal issues, the admins over there started deleting all my posts, and telling me such things like "You are bringing other people down" and "This is a support website, and you are not being supportive" Actually, it was they who weren't being supportive and just being very biased. I didn't understand this. I wasn't going around telling the other members to stop taking there meds or anything of that sort. I just had made my own personal disicion not to take any myself--and they resented me for this. It was very frusterating and unfair. I'm glad i found these forums.
So i just want to say, thanks site administrators--for being so supportive and open-minded.
