In reply to Why did my doctor say there were no good Sites????, posted by jc12578 on August 21, 2003, at 8:48:10
First of all, welcome to Babble. :-)
You know, a lot of doctors aren't really aware that sites like this exist. Or they *are*, but they don't know about this one in particular, which is so well moderated, thanks to Dr. Bob :-). The latter sounds like the case with your doctor -- if I were a physician, the idea of a forum like this would probably scare me too if I just thought it was filled with a bunch of psychiatric patients running amok, lol. But because of the civility policies here which are so well-enforced, these forums definitely (IMHO) deserve the title of "safehaven".
Just one more thing, since you're new -- there are several different message boards here. Psycho-Babble (the one you posted on) is solely for discussion of medication-related issues. No biggie though, Dr. Bob or someone else will just have this redirected to Psycho-Social-Babble, I'm pretty sure, which is the board just for talking about anything and everything not related to medication, faith, psychological counseling, or administration of the site. So in all, there are five main boards here -- Psycho-Babble (medications), Psychological-Babble (therapy/counseling), Psycho-Babble-Faith (faith-related issues), Psycho-Babble Administration (questions, comments, and suggestions about the administration of the site), and Psycho-Social-Babble (just for BS'ing :-).
Once again, welcome! I'm sure you'll find it a very friendly place and I hope you'll stick around. :-)
