One of the treatment paths you can take with a mood disorder (such as major depressive, anxiety, or bipolar disorders) is to use medication for stabilization. It seems to be highly dependent on the individual, especially when it comes to how a certain dose or brand affects a particular person, and typically most effective when paired with a secondary treatment outlet.
What are your opinions on medicine, in regards to yourself? Do you think it's beneficial, or do you prefer to attempt to combat your illnesses in other ways?
I had always been opposed to medication of any sort, very intolerable of the side effects and skeptical about becoming reliant on an external stabilizer. Now I'm on a low dose of an anxiety-based medicine and I'm finding that it's extremely beneficial in calming my mood, though does not interfere with my normal comfort and functioning.
