Hot but real take: Psychiatric meds aren't entirely necessary. Don't blindly trust psychiatrists (they're pill pushers). Holistic remedies/treatments can be just as effective, if not more so!! Even for more severe conditions!

As someone with Bipolar I, I was on meds and going through treatment for 8 years. I finally found consistent stability, peace, and joy ENTIRELY OFF ALL MEDS. Intense exercise 5x/week, very healthy diet, meditation, 10k steps/day, ashwaganda daily, and time to enjoy my hobbies.

I've been in a consistent state of non-disruptive hypomania and it's been freaking awesome. No full-blown mania, no depressive episodes, it feels like I've finally escaped hell 😭
