So today I was talking to someone that disclosed they had a mental illness, and then proceeded to tell me that they didn’t need medication. They said they might need therapy, but not medication. That was really hard for me to hear. As someone who always takes medication, and always will, that was hard to hear. Am I weak? Should I be able to not need medication? I always believed medication was necessary to be healthy, like if you had diabetes, you would take medicine, so why not with mental health?
