An interesting assumption you make that I know nothing of it...@JustAskBenWhy I've read some of your posts and I respect you, but your statements agitate me.
It's frustrating enough that mental illness is still somewhat of a taboo subject, but it's made worse by these kind of statements. It seems that people who are blessed enough to not experience it themselves seem to be quite frankly ignorant and ill-educated to it.
Because a person with mental illness doesn't have a physical symptom, people assume they can just flick a switch.

You don't cure this shit. You don't get better. You make a decision to move on. You make a choice to succeed at living a life of purpose in-spite of yourself.
