Well, I look at it this way. I take my lithium and I don't lose control of myself and sleep with everyone in sight (male or female), wind up in other states without knowing how I got there, spending every penny I can get my hand on, self mutilating and drinking myself half to death. I don't take my lithium and all those things, plus others, happen.
I take my lithium and I hold down a job, maintain a marriage, act as a responsible parent and contributing member of society.
I use many, many tools to manage my manic depression - medication is only one of them - but medication is an important one and sometime I won't let go of.
