> In my opinion, a psychiatrist who has experienced depression is a psychiatrist likely to dispense useful information about it.I mentioned above in the Rage & Cutting thread about just how much prejudice and bias there can be in the mental health field about mental health practitioners with mental health issues. I *do* agree with University's view in the "takes one to know one" department. All the same, many of us who have chosen to remain anonymous (pseudonymous?) can "come out" safely here, whereas we wouldn't dream about making this knowledge public among our colleagues.
Besides, as long as he remains silent, he can still be Dr. Bob, International Man of Mystery. Gotta have a secret identity to keep that up. ;^)
cheers,
