I may be only 18 but I am no stranger to illness and whether it be mental or physical. This is more for the mental illness but I believe we have the ability to over come it ourselves with moral support and self motivation is there any others that agree? If not i would love to hear others thoughts on this subject.

This is a bit naive, isn't it? Do you really think that diseases like schizophrenia or depression can be overcome by moral support and self-motivation? If that were true, some seminars with a guru would be enough to heal severe cases.

Depression comes and goes been through it enough to know you do not need a pill most people who were on the medication for depression often end their own lives once they are taken off it because it "helped" them cope with depression as for schizophrenia maybe you are right but naive is not the word I am a free thinker with a lot to learn

I think it depends on the mental illness and how ill someone has become. I do believe that mild depression can be improved by self motivation but something like schizophrenia would need medication. There is also the question of what constitutes mental illness.
