When you were put on medication for a mental illness...
When you were put on medication for a mental illness, assuming you were still in school, what happened to your grades? This includes everything from ADD, OCD, psychosis, bi-polar, depression, you name it.

Where's the option for "didn't need and didn't receive medication?"

I think it's neat that the question is phrased so as to apply to all people; and given the rampant "over-diagnosing" of ADD, etc., it soon will.

Hmmm, I never payed attention all through middle school and I was never put on ritalin...
We Americans live in a nation where the medical-care system is second to none in the world, unless you count maybe 25 or 30 little scuzzball countries like Scotland that we could vaporize in seconds if we felt like it.

I was taking a number of meds for depression at one point, and it never had any effect on my grades. They were just bad. I don't blame the drugs for that. I was treated for the symptoms, not the cause.
