was just responding to the argument that any treatment is worth it when the alternative is suicide

That's not the argument.....

The argument is that treatment plans are developed by evaluating risk and reward.

The risk for not treating is very high, even if the treatment doesn't have a high rate of efficacy as long as it doesn't introduce further risk, it's still a valid treatment.

Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
