True, shepgirl - there ARE meds...I guess we were agreeing all the way along LOL.

But there are some illnesses for which meds aren't yet available.

"clinically diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder in 1980" This is from Wikipedia - and I don't know that there are successful treatments for that. I wonder if they TRIED to treat him?

On his blog in 2005, he says that 'some high priced shrink' diagnosed him as transsexual. So he did have contact with the psychiatric community.

There are some diseases of all kinds that can't be cured yet. Even me, being on lifelong meds - that isn't a cure, any more than insulin is for a person with diabetes.

Some day soon...I hope full treatment and health care will be available to all who need it.
