Seeing A Psychiatrist Is Better Than Doing Illegal Drugs

Some people dealing with serious mental health issues elect to use illegal drugs, such as speed or crack, in order to self-medicate themselves and to escape the emotional pain they're going through. But doing that is a bad idea. Instead, if you're dealing with mental illness, it's a better and more responsible idea to see a psychiatrist and fight your issues with psychiatric medication(s). I realize that psychiatric meds aren't perfect. And they all have potential side effects. However, getting better with psychiatric medication is a lot better than frying your brain cells with illegal drugs.

Medication is not a good way right now, it only supports when needed by a doctor recommended.

I agree with your opinion. Psychopath should take some medicine for mental illness.

Seeing a psychiatrist has been very helpful for me. He was the one who was able to get me on the right combination of anti-depressants and anti-anxiety medication. He literally saved my life on more than one occasion.
