I don't know you. Therefore I cannot comment on you specifically. Besides it wouldn't be appropriate to be directly antagonistic on this venue anyways.
My goal here is to provide patients like myself with a sense of enlightenment having had 12 years of pertinent experience as a patient and 4 years being employed in the pharmaceutical industry. Patients receiving care whether it is meds or therapy should be aware that ultimately they have control over how they are treated. Patients or consumers of mental healthcare need to be extremely well informed and vigilant to ensure they receive top shelf care and attention whether it is addressing side-effects, covering particular issues in therapy, or whatever. My hostility as it may come across comes from having repeatedly dealt with professionals who had agendas in mind other than my needs. Not only did I suffer, but I got worse and stuck with the bill. The current mental health system demands self empowerment and education perhaps like few other things do.
I apologize if my saltiness offended you, but be reassured that my role in pharma is very much akin to yours.
