The thing is, with severe mental illness, the meds usually are predictable. Mood disorders w/ psychotic features, psychotic disorders...treatment doesn't have to involve spectacular, innovative cocktails, but it does require a trained expert, plus lots of psychosocial interventions.I'm blessed because my upper middle class, white collar family is behind me. That means I get a decent, quiet, safe place to recover, good food to eat, so on and so forth. I actually get to recover, which is rare in today's world, at least in the US.
I just don't understand why the government will spend billion$ on atypicals, but they won't focus more on services and disability to promote recovery and get people back into society.
Off my soap box now, lol.
