Jeffrey,
I respect your decision and can't argue with your success in managing your own problems. And I agree that we have no right to force anyone to take medication -- or even to maneuver them into feeling it is the only option. BUT... be careful that you don't let your distaste for the idea color your thinking and interactions with students who DO choose to use medication to help them control their symptomology. While it isn't your choice, it is theirs.
