I mean, the psychosis can definitely be helped and I am personally glad that my jurisdiction allowed me to be involuntarily admitted and for them to force me to take antipsychotics. It sounds brutal but, like, it gave me my sanity back.

I wouldn't judge people for not being on antidepressants, though. I did go on them and don't even have mild PDD/dysthymia noticeably anymore. But I'm also really fat now... If depression isn't too terrible, it can be preferable to live with it. That isn't the same with psychosis and stuff like that.

My point in the rant is just that this whole thing about destigmatizing and accepting mental illness and supporting people with it is generally horseshit and that a lot of people who claim to be accepting of mental illness get super weirded out by serious mental illness and are super stigmatizing about it. And that sucks.

People should be educated and understanding about mental illness, without glamorising it or romanticising it or trying to pretend that it isn't pathological.
