Double Amen! -
I was blown away the first time I saw this essay (after it was posted awhile back by Alan, if memory serves). While I strongly disagree with the author on a handful of points, this is awesome in its thorough, logical and holistic approach that refuses to bow to the marketing and peer-pressure driven biases that can engender a misguided or narrow-minded "conventional wisdom."
This article is indeed a perfect tool for discussion with a doctor, particularly one whose thinking seems to have fallen prey to such biases (e.g., that SSRI use is usually preferable to long-term benzos for panic).
I do wonder why the author chooses to remain anonymous, though. This reads as though it was written by someone who is very educated but knows how to express thoughts in a manner that is thorough enough for the professional, yet easily understood by a patient or potenial patient who is not familiar with "medspeak".
