While I agree with you in the general sense, LJ, that the mildly depressive, manic, or otherwise slightly-nuts-but-fully-functioning folks should accept who they are and embrace the creative, productive, meditative, or whatever spurts as they come... the fact remains that severe cases of these diseases are often accompanied with violence. Think outside the box, color-code your M&M's to relax, whatever floats your boat--but if you are harmful to yourself or others, you need to be on meds.
