Thanks for your kind words.I spent some time in the waiting room of my doctor's office today, perusing a copy of _The_British_Journal_Of_Psychiatry_. I was BLOWN AWAY by the level of knowledge and sophistication of understanding of the authors who wrote the various papers. That stuff was WAY beyond me. It was disconcerting to realize that I knew even less than I thought I had, but, at the same time, it was reassuring to me that the pace of progress in neuroscience and psychiatry is greater than I could possibly keep up with. This was not true 20-25 years ago. I could keep up with just about everything then.
