You know, like being happy about having a doctor, but unhappy if he keeps misdiagnosing things and giving you the wrong prescription.
Also, aside from not understanding what it's like in grad school, she shouldn't talk against meds. If you need meds you should get them. Seriously, I saw lots of Ts who were against meds, and I wish they had been a little more up to date, and pro-science and not so head-in-the-clouds about it. Cause I need them and they make (and could have made) a big big difference in my life.
(I've got to go, but I'll be back later, these are just a couple of thoughts.)Jost
