People seem to regard mental disorder as different from other medical problems, that drugs can’t help the person because it’s not something “physical” as they usually exist only within the mind of the person.

However, the brain is just as much of an organ as the liver or heart. If an organ isn’t working properly, medication can help. Doesn’t matter which one it is; it is mostly a stigmas because the symptoms of mental disorders don’t come up on blood results or an MRI so there’s no “proof” they’re real.
