Group dynamics? Vague term. What specifically are you thinking about in terms of group dynamics?
Obviously it's your project, but I think much more interesting is the content itself.
I think it would be enlightening to see tabulated data on what diagnoses, medications, side effects, understanding of all these issues, reactions to dr's and therapists, etc...people are spontaneously mentioning on this board
....than it would be to see how people use boards like this for support. How they flame each other, etc. All of which we can pretty much guess.In fact, I've wished that someone would do it for ASDM for a long time. However skewed the sample - there's more data there than you can shake a fist at.
