you seem to be really good at pointing out perceived flaws in my argument, but I have yet to see you provide one reasonable reason as to why someone who suffers from bipolar, mania, schizophrenia, shouldn't take meds.

I'm waiting, please prove me wrong. 

You can't, but I want to see you try.

Mmm no no. You don’t get to posit that happy pills are the best and only solution to schizophrenia and then tell everyone else to prove you wrong. Nope. 

You go first. Prove to us that schizophrenics NEED pills. That they cannot function in any other way period. They NEED them and they’re the best solution. 

You prove that one first bud.

what alternative would you have? People who can hear voices that tell them to hurt other people, just out, loose, unchecked in society?

It's not a question of if they snap but when.

>not if but when 
Holy shit stop projecting, you aren’t the schizo specialist, star schizo case example. Damn lady. You can’t make assertions like that especially when you’re telling people to “prove you wrong”. You barely have any kind of argument. That what? People who refuse to do self-work and live with themselves can have some kind of sad contentment in happy pills dimming their minds? Sure???

There is no cure for this kind of mental illness, you do understand that right. It's more than just 'working on yourself'. You need to work on yourself, but you also need assistance from the psychiatrists and the medication they prescribe. While I do agree that many people become medicated dependents, that's on them, they tend to be comorbid with an array of illicit drug dependencies which make it hard to do any of the necessary 'self work' that you are claiming is necessary. So then they're medicated ongoing and they don't really fix any of the issues. The failing is in iack of holistic approach from the medical system. There should be a solution that involves educating patients on the value of self care, working out, eating properly, etc. Most medical systems just triage the problem and send the individual back out in to the world to fight the same problems that got them in the ward in the first place.

I still stand by my conviction that medication is necessary for people with acute symptoms of mania and psychosis, and it is an acceptable measure for those that have been stabilised from the point of harm to self or others.

You mean, a failure to treat mental health in general? Yes, i do agree that ''mental health professionals'' are not doing much to improve ''mental health''
