I guess that I wasn't really clear. I did not mean that hard work and insight to change aberrant thinking would "cure" any disease (especially biologically based one's like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and chronic depression), but that the hard work would give one a better quality of life than if one didn't work at understanding their disease. I still think a vast majority of people think that a pill will cure their disorder or that they could just "snap out of it". Obviously these two beliefs are false. If everyone tried to live a better quality of life, despite their illness, there would be a lot more productive people in the world. Again, I do not think that not working is indicative of most who frequent this board. Coming to this board actually shows that one is working to overcome their illness and not try and let it run their life. - Cam
