Hi,
I'm 100% with Racer on this one. I will add that "sometimes" there are some positives debates here but most of the time that does not fly high. Moreover to my knowledge there is no "active" psychiatrists here. So yes i have been reading for 15 years or more on mental illness (neurotransmitters, neuroanatomy, name it...) but that does not give me in any way the clinical expertise of a psychiatrist.
Did i mention that a lot of us, here on psycho-babble, are treatment resistant and can not represent the majority of people with that type of illness.
So, BLIND FAITH in a pdoc? I would say no. BUT it is really better to work WITH the psychiatrist, to question him and may be "suggest" to him an alternative. That is a whole different than taking our own advices and playing the doctor. What i discourage a lot.
Philippa, with all due respect, that was a very very bad suggestion and statement to make.
