If I don't take the pills, and don't seek help I hurt and isolate myself. Therapy and medication helps me, but once I start neglecting my mental health I start to decline and become unstable, suicidal, and angry at everything.
Depending on the situation, medication can do more harm than good if an illness is misdiagnosed, this is true. One thing I will say though is withdraw from medications that affect your brain chemistry is very dangerous, and I've almost seriously hurt myself and disappeared when that's happened. The medication I'm on will also manifest physical symptoms of withdraw too. Everything hurts, you shake uncontrollably, and you start to pass out.
Medication can be beneficial, but it's important to keep tabs on when you take it, when you're out of it, and if it's showing detrimental effects to your mental health.
