I have always said: (and so did my uncle before he was saved): This is a SIN problem; not a Psychological problem; all these drugs do is change how people think (and suppress their true selves), it makes a war in them, and usually drives them crazy: All they really need is Jesus, not some drug/(psychology)! I really abhor the modern psychology industry!

I hope, very strongly, that no one in your most precious circle of family and friends ever is diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Your advice may, unfortunately, hasten their death.
I can say, completely and with equivocation, my mother would be dead if she were NOT taking the drugs her psychiatrist prescribes.
Unfortunately, as in so many situations, the smallest number of cases make up the overwhelming majority of news. This is the squeaky wheel getting the grease. For each whacked out person on meds who does something to get him or herself into the news, there are hundreds, if not thousands of people who are able to continue living productive lives BECAUSE of the meds.
And no, I don’t work for the pharmaceutical industry, but my mom is alive and mostly well because of the meds. I’m not sure Jesus would have been able to assist with her psychotic break the last couple of times she went off her meds. JMO.
