I do wish Dr. Bob would say this site is less about support and more about research and observation. The research can be useful, but it's just very misleading when you account for all the aspects that most find unsupportive.
It is a good source of medication information, but I don't find it that supportive at all, despite there are supportive members here. I see people posting here crying for help, but no one answers...so the large # of posts and members at Psych Central..the chances are much higher of getting support.though the forum I use is very, very small, I don't see people in need of help being ignored like I see here.
Even if this site is more about information than support, Dr. Bob spends less time providing or updating information (look at all the old broken links and outdated medication information) than he does with things like Tweeting posts and spreading the information around. Marketing. Soemthing to add on a resume-top ten contributers to Organized Wisdom..as a result of spreading existing information around....
Oh well....I wish well for Dr. Bob and this site and members...but unfortunately, it appears he does not administer it in a way members think it would be most supportive or useful for us...so after trying, its just makes sense to find and use other places.
