it is just sad, really wish we understood the brain more and could help those who need it

it's a constant battle, trying to help the ones you love that have a broken mind.

i remember one time I got through to them by comparing it to the problems other people had with other organs, how they could have a mostly normal life with medicine and doctors who can advise them. the doctor isn't your priest or your parents. they want to help you. if you need a different doctor that's ok!

in time, for some impossible reasons to understand they decided they were fine and cured.... cycle repeats but my prior argument doesn't work now because clearly it's failed so it can't be right
