answer:Yes, I do. Everyone in my family has some sort of mental illness. Everyone has depression (including myself), depression (all of us), OCD (brother and mom), ADD (brother), severe autism that causes some cognitive issues (sister). I have a good friend who has bipolar. I know a family friend who has paranoid schizophrenia. We are all on medications that have been found to work for the each of us, through help of a doctor plus some trial and error. I’ve been on mine for years without issue. My sister functions and thinks better with hers. So does my brother. Everyone does therapy except for my dad, who seems to fare fine with his drugs alone. The bipolar one did Lithium for a few years, then started to use medicinal weed. Swears by it, even though I do believe it can be dangerous for bipolars. Schizo guy is drugged up and is finally living back at home, working a minimum wage job and being functional in society. Keyword: functional. A lot better than he was a year ago, running off, hearing voices, etc. I swear by medication and therapy.
