Regarding the negative commentary of the last two posts:
You would do all/.ers a service by learning something about the physical components of mental illness prior to furthering the 1950s-era belief that mental illness is not an illness.
If YOU, my good sir, are able to function without medication, good for you. I'm truly happy that your particular flavor of mental illness is controllable without pharmaceutical intervention.
On the other hand, some diabetics must have a shot every day while the rest are able to manage their condition through diet/exercise.
In respect to symptom management, many forms of mental illness (including depression) are not much different than diabetes: you don't get rid of the condition, you manage its symptoms.
There's a reason doctors make these decisions along with the afflicted. Only the two of them have any real basis making a judgement call on whether or not their symptoms could / should / would be managed with/out medication.

OMG, I hope they DON'T release that child's face. Since half (or more) of the English-speaking world has now seen this image set without her, posting a pic in which she is recognizable completely destroys what privacy she might still have. Yes, catching the bastard/s involved is important, but this child deserves to not have the world know she has been sexually mistreated just as much as any adult rape victim. How do we balance those two ideas?

Wow. Sounds like someone needs a nap. Get a grip, don't you have anything better to do smack at fanboys for no good reason?
Big words from an "Anonymous Coward."
