I respectfully disagree. One should have a choice... is it not the point of drugs to make you feel better? So why should one *have to* take them if it makes them feel worse? That just does not make sense... When it comes to human psyche... it goes far beyond the "biological illness model".
You keep on saying "nothing works." Nothing works to do what? Make you feel better? Help you to function better? Make you look better to others? All you say is they "address your illness." Addressing is not the same as ameliorating. I don't think you should expect "meaningful employment," or "pets" to do anything beneficial, for feeling depressed, having periods of ill-focused energy. Drugs don't usually help people w schizophrenia to live w/o goverment assistance, be productively employed.
If the drugs make you feel better, you can just take them WITHOUT needing to postulate the existence of an illness, and the idea that the drugs treat the illness. Nor do you need to postulate the non-existence of an illness. You can ignore the whole subject of biological illness and you can instead simply say: I FEEL depressed; I take a drug that makes me feel LESS depressed.
Good video, but I disagree with the opinion. There may actually be better solutions. Maybe not for you yet, but you should always keep your eyes open for other possibilities. Not taking medication is a choice many people deserve to make (as long as they are mentally able). For some medication isn't really necessary. Sometimes you do have to pay attention to your feelings, because sometimes you feel wrong because the medication is really wrong for you. I was on the wrong medication for too long.
@reallysecretusername sure, nice comment, you've proven how intelligent you are.

You need weed, not pills, only at the end of the day tho, smoke a joint, around 8 pm, trust me! Get laid, then eat some ice cream and pass out!

informed choice should be the key here.

absolutely right. people have depression because they dont have enough serotonin, not because they're crazy.
