Yes and no, Cassandra. There are lots of reasons that someone may choose not to take medication, and they should certainly have that option. Just don't fall into the trap of thinking that anyone who needs or uses medication is relying on a crutch in some way. When you say, "people need to learn how to manage" it sounds a little like saying, "they should just get some self-discipline and they wouldn't have this problem!" GRIN
