In reply to Professor at Med School Says Wean off All Meds, posted by Phillipa on October 2, 2005, at 19:06:31
> Okay it's me again. Today I was with my husband and ran into an aquaintance who is a Professor at a Medical School. He has a PHD in biochemistry. He asked how I was and I explained that I was still taking meds for anxiety/depression. He very nicely told me to wean off the meds as they were not good for me. He said it is mind over matter.
LOL
:-(
Let this person remain a student of biochemistry. I'm sure he is very good at what he does.
You need students of psychiatry to help make diagnostic and treatment decisions for you.
If you notice, I still consider a professor and a doctor to be students. The day they become satisfied that they know everything is the day they are no longer the best at what they do.
Even professors and physicians are humans. Sometimes, humans become very emotionally attached to a school of thought without fully considering the applicability or validity of others.
I find this professor's advice to you to be inadvisable to follow.
