Scott writes here that Phillipa should not be treated as if she has OCD. This is allowed by Mr. Hsiung as being seen as being supportive. But I say to you, that when someone making any type of diagnosis in a mental health forum chaired by a psychiatrist, readers could act on the diagnosis and could cost those persons their lives by being misdiagnosed by someone that the psychiatrist here is allowing what Scott is doing to stand without interceding which could influence vulnerable readers to accept Scott's diagnosis when he is not a doctor or psychiatrist. And worse, Scott claims that Phillipa is not taking enough of the drug(s) which could cause Phillipa to increase her dosage of the drug(s) and suffer a horrible death by them.
Here Scott is allowed to break the rules of the FDA by advocating increasing the dosage of Lexapro because it can help, according to Scott, with GAD, OCD and depression. That is quite a promotion for the drug, Lexapro and the manufacturers get free advertising here by Scott. But Scott doesn't tell the rest of what could happen to Phillipa or anyone else taking Lexapro, which could be addiction, life-ruining conditions and death by their own hand.
And you mothers, trying to make a more-informed decision as to drug your child in collaboration with a psychiatrist, look at the admin board at my discussion with Mr. Hsiung. And look at those trying to still my voice here. And see the anti-Semitic propaganda being allowed to be seen here as being supportive which Mr. Hsiung says that in his thinking his community will be good for the whole. That is the same argument used historically to justify slavery and infanticide and segregation and genocide. Do you want to swallow the poison of European Fascism that resulted in a hundred million deaths that history has condemned decades ago?
