Josie released from within; a story of one woman struggling with serious depression BUT finds a way to be released from within.
- Once trapped and bottled up inside.
- Her depression was like serving a prison sentence living within the walls of isolation.
- Not understood by the chains and pain inside her mind.
- Josie releases the chains to break free and has found the true freedom that every human being deserves.
- Her book talks of recovery and medication that saved her life.
I read an article recently about the topic of medication prescribed to people for mental illness. There are many opinions ‘out there’ about how to treat mental illness. This article was strongly opposing medication used to treat mentally ill people.
It causes many readers great concern when certain groups form strong opinions on a topic like mental illness. Each person or diagnosis cannot be put into one basket. To put forward a statement claiming the unnecessary use of medication for mental illness recovery certainly jumps up off the page into your face.
The true fact of the matter is that unless certain medication is taken, the dangers of suicide and/or manic episodes increase. The already fatalities in cases of people dying by suicide or relapse episodes are some of those that I have personally witnessed and am living proof of that.
The suicide rate is 6 people each day in Australia and many people are either not treated or have suddenly stopped medicating. (Beyond blue statistics).
This is such a sensitive area and the opinions that medication is not the answer and basing an argument on the assumption that it ruins minds is quite a statement.
Josie would be still trapped without a tablet taken once a day. I function freely now. So free that I am an ambassador for Beyond blue and speak to people in regional Victoria to offer up my story about depression and anxiety and offer hope to open minds and to start up a conversation.
There is hope of their release and the very real chance of feeling free from that lost and trapped state of mind of depression. People don’t need to be deprived of that if medication can help set them free.
1 in 6 women will experience serious depression & 1 in 8 men.
Anxiety is even higher odds and suicide is 6 people each day in Australia.
What is fair is to have my spirit unbroken and my wings unclipped and not caged up for life!!!
Wellness for mental illness sufferers is possible and help is readily available.
Finding the right answers to individual depression cases and each of us reaching the core of our problem early presents the chance of not having to take medication….BUT in many individual case and for many sufferers of mental illness, they need medication.
If I was not given the right medication I would not be here today so I rest my case.
