Please don’t consider my initial statement questioning a metaphor to mean that people that have suffered a psychotic episode or are likely to suffer a psychotic episode in the near future should avoid medication. The threshold for considering medication should be lower than a psychotic episode.

My concern is the metaphor in which many people are viewing mental health, not in the treatments themselves.

Thanks for that. Sorry if my reply was too vicious. I think I was criticizing a variant of the described attitude rather than you or your specific comment.

My communications should have made that more clear. It’s probably a common and dangerous interpretation.
