Nice one FlyersFan and yes despite there being no biochemical, neurological, or genetic markers for the condition that truly is some interesting anecdotal evidence.
Don't know if you went through the info at the link (or read through the statements) but thought there was a very important point made in it.
Quote:None of this is to say that people do not experience emotional or behavioral problems, but the fact remains the diagnosis are not a disease and the treatments (drugs) are not without serious, even life threatening risks. Whatever choice people make, they deserve the facts in order to make an informed decision.
It also states as fact that 'there are no genetic tests, no brain scans, blood tests, chemical imbalance tests or X-rays that can scientifically/medically prove that any psychiatric disorder is a medical condition' but I certainly wish that girl all the best and genuinely do appreciate the input.
Suppose there's also a darker flipside and thought there was some important and disturbing content below about 'dosing' the military - the part where extremely powerful mind altering psychotropic drugs are being listed can be found at 3:10.

Cheers.
