If you are talking about mental health issues that are physiological problems, I think it is a priority to get them properly treated.
I think I heard you say earlier that your latest diagnosis was bi-polar, it may take a while to get the right mix of meds to stabilize this. But I think it is an imperative.
I have learned lately that depressed people have smaller amalgyda (a primitive brain part) and that without proper medication it continues to shrink and atrophy, therefore deprression is a progressive disease. I know this to be true from prior experience. I am not sure I would have another recovery in me, therefore the most important think I do everyday is take my meds. It took years to get the right cocktail for me!! Also the hippocampus can be effected. Ptsd occurs when trauma kills brain cells in the hippocampus. I take meds for that too.
Finally, with the right mix, I am better than I have ever been in my life.
Heck, I didn't know what it was to feel "normal" until about a year ago when we got the right mix of meds in me. When they started working I was just wowed! I never knew! What is was to be well! I am not giving that up for anything!
