> > >I'm sorry james but I agree with julesvox on this. Not everyone has your curiousity and the knowledge of how to satisfy it. I don't make alot of use of the internet. My computer time is limited, my phone lines very poor which ruins my modem speed, and I'm easily overwelmed by too much information, so I can get pretty frustrated quickly with the whole process of information retrieval and information analysis. I have a pdoc who is more than willing to throw a ton on information at me in the form of journal articles etc, but i don't have a scientific background and its hard for me to slog through this stuff. Because I have never revealed my situation to very many people, what I have always lacked most of all is the sort of anecdotal data so available on this site, and the comfort that comes from being able to communicate with people who can actually understand what's happening to you. The first piece of that I could get out of the archives, although I've tried that and found it to be too too much. I

I think your points are well taken. I mixed up the context here, my comments are about users on the internet in general.
In terms of mental health and meds there is a lot of information on the internet written at the basic level. Also I have no
scientific background of a formal sence, my degree
is in music. We touched a little on acostics and I took biology in 1979 in high school. It has
helped having a friend who is a molecular microbiologist. It also helps understanding Latin; those big
medical terms are not as imposing to me.james
