You and Phillipa bring up valid points- but the program makes me feel uneasy to read about anyway. I am having a hard time putting my finger on why, precisely. Maybe it's because a psychiatrist once accused me of being psychotic when I told her zyprexa was making me feel strange and I extrapolated? (Ie- "You think this med makes you feel strange??!!") At the very least, I hope that more than one doctor makes the evaluation. But you're right, the same questions could be raised about other programs, hospitalizations, and such.
