what would you say to someone who refuses meds?

7. A friend said to me, when I complained of having to take meds, " We are so lucky to have them."

My friend is so wise , and so correct in this instance.

Fifty-to-sixty years ago, meds, especially psychotropic drugs, were in their infancy.
Up until then, from the dawn of history, people, and their families, just suffered when they had a medical imbalance.

Now, treatment is available, perhaps not for all disorders, perhaps not permanent fixes, but what a relief it is to be rid of the suffering so relatively easily, at least compared to the days before meds were available.
