“Just because it isn’t physical, visible or tangible, we have a tendency to treat it like it’s wrong, like mental illness is less of an illness than a visible one. There is no shame in accepting the assistance of medication. It doesn’t make you any less human, it doesn’t make you weak or any less capable of doing the job, writing the essay or completing the degree — the same way a person without a mental illness would. By acknowledging the issue and accepting the assistance of medication, personally, I think you’re admirable. Because it is often the people who take meds that are the strong ones, the fighters.” From here
