Just read about John Travolta's psychiatric drug stance. As much as I dislike Scientology's manipulative ways and utter nonsense, on their point I agree. Been on more drugs I can remember, and all made me tired, constrained and, well, not me.

I think they can help a lot of people, in particular unipolar depressives, but I'm one of those guys who tried to fit in. And eventually realised I'd just rather be me. Which is also why I don't agree with the term "disorder".

I generally think drug companies have a lot to answer for. Being diabetic, I've come to the conclusion this disease would have been cured long ago if it wasn't for these companies' vested interests....

I'm on a mission here. According to me, the placebo effect is more efficient that any researched drugs. Nobody knows what causes bipolar "disorder". No bloody wonder, it's a made up condition. According to a university study (forgot which), people who are diagnosed with this have 30% higher traffic between brain cells. So, hey, let's call it a disease. And get funding. And sell drugs
