I refuse to perpetuate the already debunked "brain imbalance" theories that keep people stuck in their diagnoses for life. After all, if a patient is told it's permanent, it's more likely to become permanent. I have seen this in my own life and the lives of others. I am happy to say that by ditching that brain theory and disposing of "diagnosis," I became happier and healthier than I have been since the day I walked into the Mental Health System and said those three words I now regret: "I need help."
