(...)because Miss Temple has generally something to say which is newer than my own reflections; her language is singularly agreeable to me, and the information she communicates is often just what I wished to gain.___ell, then, with Miss Temple you are good?___es, in a passive way: I make no effort; I follow as inclination guides me. There is no merit in such goodness.___ great deal: you are good to those who are good to you. It is all I ever desire to be. If people were always kind and obedient to those who are cruel and unjust, the wicked people would have it all their own way: they would never feel afraid, and sothey would never alter, but would grow worse and worse. When we are struck at without a reason, we should strike back again very hard; I am sure we should__o hard as to teach the person who struck us never to do it again.___ou will change your mind, I hope, when you grow older: as yet you are but a little untaught girl.___ut I feel this, Helen; I must dislike those who, whatever I do to please them, persist in disliking me; I must resist those who punish me unjustly.

The uncomfortable, as well as the miraculous, fact about the human mind is how it varies from individual to individual. The process of treatment can therefore be long and complicated. Finding the right balance of drugs, whether lithium salts, anti-psychotics, SSRIs or other kinds of treatment can be a very hit or miss heuristic process requiring great patience and classy, caring doctoring. Some patients would rather reject the chemical path and look for ways of using diet, exercise and talk-therapy. For some the condition is so bad that ECT is indicated. One of my best friends regularly goes to a clinic for doses of electroconvulsive therapy, a treatment looked on by many as a kind of horrific torture that isn__ even understood by those who administer it. This friend of mine is just about one of the most intelligent people I have ever met and she says, __ know. It ought to be wrong. But it works. It makes me feel better. I sometimes forget my own name, but it makes me happier. It__ the only thing that works._ For her. Lord knows, I__ not a doctor, and I don__ understand the brain or the mind anything like enough to presume to judge or know better than any other semi-informed individual, but if it works for her_. well then, it works for her. Which is not to say that it will work for you, for me or for others.
