Strange I hear alot of people say that.  I never felt exactly that way about the situation- but idk I never fully examined my own situation (until recently) to arrive at such conclusion.

 

i have no idea what youre trying to say. maybe its because i dont speak the crazy anymore.

Unlike other illnesses, in which patients accept the fact that they need to take medicine to control their disease, people with bipolar disorder often refuse to take their medications — an issue called treatment compliance. These patients often have trouble perceiving that they have a problem, even during a bipolar episode (a condition known as anosognosia, and therefore don't believe they need treatment. Avoiding treatment, however, is the worst thing you can do with bipolar disorder. Why? Because bipolar disorder tends to get worse if it's not treated. So to improve your prognosis — your future with this condition — you need to follow your doctor's prescribed treatments. Most people who have bipolar disorder will have normal moods in between their manic and depressive episodes. However, in almost every case, bipolar disorder is a lifelong illness requiring treatment. While there is no cure for bipolar disorder, there is every reason to believe that with proper treatment, you will get better. Proper treatment means taking all your medications and attending therapy sessions as recommended by your doctor. It is important to take the bipolar medications even between episodes of depression or mania. Consistency in taking the medications can stabilize your mood swings.

Oddly enough, in all my years of clinical practice, I've never had somebody who's bipolar tell me that they didn't need their meds - I've heard a lot of complaints about side effects and cost, and people not taking them for those reasons, but not that they didn't need them (unless they were manic).

 

You know who says that they don't need their meds, and that they're cured? Diabetics who've had bariatric surgery.  And they're usually "sane."

Yeah, unfortunately, there are a lot of people who either don't get into the system, or are "lost to follow up" (that's such a nice little euphemism). And the people who are stuck in denial are the ones I don't see.

yeah the scale is different in my direction...it's our side of the medical profession to fight with PTs and their meds...late to refil? We are calling you...and we will be telling you the repercussions of not getting it
