productivity--no more work-filled sleepless nights
biological children--you may decide not to pass illness along
a job--your job may prove to be too stressful
money--you must buy meds and therapy, hospitalization
time--you must see a psychiatrist on a regular schedule
convenience/freedom--You're a "slave" to your meds
your looks--you may gain weight, get acne
your insanity--you have to give up the old you (the incredibly fun, zany and adventurous you)
pride--#1 thing that must be given up
credibility--you may lose your credibility in some circles
friends--you may lose some friends
The diagnosis is a huge blow to anyone.
