Not people. If people feel attacked, it must be because they identify with the lies. That's not my responsibility but theirs.Marianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16273435151682585281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1502332727845937105.post-25139095450933251172008-08-01T17:19:00.000+02:002008-08-01T17:19:00.000+02:00Marian:Of course I say I have a "chronic" disease....Marian:<BR/><BR/>Of course I say I have a "chronic" disease. In a medical model, unlike your model, depression is like diabetes, herpes or HIV -- manageable but incurable under CURRENT science. (Maybe one day.)<BR/><BR/>Obviously you disagree -- that it is both chronic and that it is a disease.<BR/><BR/>Sarcasm aside, I'd politely ask you to be more careful in your language from now on. No, you didn't attack me personally, but you attacked anyone who doesn't practice the tenets of the anti-medication movement -- which certainly INCLUDES me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1502332727845937105.post-25678233084448528272008-08-01T12:24:00.000+02:002008-08-01T12:24:00.000+02:00...and 3.: all psych drugs are physically addictiv......and 3.: all psych drugs are physically addictive.

I say "all too often" (biopsychiatry's recovery rate: ca. 10% - Soteria: ca. 85%), I don't say that YOU are among the 90%, who don't ever recover, and spend the rest of their days on disability, BECAUSE OF "MEDICATION" SIDE EFFECTS.<BR/><BR/>2.
