Hey There,
Our disease is like any other. Some diabetics just need to modify their diet to stablize there blood sugar. Other need diet, up to three oral medication in combination and insulin injections to get control of their sugar levels.
Some of us here need very low doses of medication to stable us ..... level that may seem subtherapeutic ..... but that is all they need. Some of us need a combination of meds and intensive psychotherapy to help with our moods. Some need meds and ECT! Bipolar and unipolar disease definately come in varing degree.
I agree ..... overmedication is wrong .... even MALPRACTICE! Your stealing someone's life away when you over medicate an individual. Some pdoc forget we are try to live life outside of office visits.
