"Hi there. My thoughts are this... with mental illnesses, whether they be depression/anxiety, bipolar disorder, etc are that your body changes as you get older, hence so does the chemistry... things that may not have been as bad when you were young may now in fact be worse or better, it just depends on chemistry changes. Anxiety may be an ever present monster in life, but it's severity and frequency will depend on your life cricumstances and/or your chemistry... if the "brew" is just right, you will occasionally have severe problems. What can balance that out is knowledge and wisdom that you acrue as you get older that can help in treating your illnesses.
Just my thoughts

Very good post.
Sometimes we forget that with time and age comes changes in both our chemistry...AND our ability to handle Life.
Looking back....I had subtle mental health issues during childhood,through the teenage years
and now into adulthood.
What's changed is my ability to handle it.

I suspect this is often the case with others, depending on ...as you put it..."the brew" being just right.
Many disorders are "discovered" during or immediately following a time of great Life Stress
that "triggers" a previously unrecognized problem.

Perhaps just as vitamin supplimentation is advantagous as we age....so it is with our chemistries and Medications.

"Masking" is not meant as a derogatory term...I use it to illustrate the underlying problem isnt "solved" while on AD's....it is controlled
by blunting the feeling of it.

Now if something were to be invented that could
allow our bodies and minds to produce the same chemicals as adults that we seemed to have had a children...that would indeed be the Fountain of Youth!

So I guess the AD's do "right a wrong" in our chemistry, in a way. If only they could do it more naturally and augment our bodies inate ability to keep balanced.

wishful thinking...I know
