Many people believe that taking medication for an emotional disorder such as Bipolar or Depression is only a sign of weakness. This false idea discourages many people struggling with emotional disorders from taking medications that might lead to a balanced, healthy life. Depression and bipolar are physical problems. They cause the chemistry in the body to be altered. You can't just 'get over it' or 'suck it up.' Many times medication is needed to help the person to live a wholesome life. Medication does not equal weakness!
