Psychopharmacology (detail)
When undergoing treatment for serious mental illness, medication can become the focal point of your
life. Basic questions of self-identity come into play. How much of what I feel, or don't feel, is caused
by the meds? How much by the illness, and how much by my innate personality? I am not my illness,
but to what extent am I my medication? All of the pills comprising the image are, or were, commonly
prescribed for treating mental illness.
