Well, without question, what I wrote in the post that I just made to this thread is, at least in some ways, more critical of psychiatry than what I've written in most of my older Psycho-Babble posts. But as I wrote not all that long ago under my Tomatheus username, my participation on this board and on all of Psycho-Babble at this point is on a limited basis, as I definitely don't think that I have as many positive things to say about medications as I used to. That's not to say that I no longer think that psychiatric medications play a useful role (and sometimes a very central role) in alleviating the symptoms of various mental health conditions or that I won't ever mention the benefits of psychiatric medications when others here with mental health conditions ask questions about medications that they're taking or thinking of taking. If I have something to share that I think that somebody else might find to be helpful, then I intend to share it, whether it's something that might be in line with the views of a majority of psychiatrists, or whether it's something different. The post that I just made here does seem to fall into the "something different" category, but that's not to say that that will be the case for all (or even necessarily most) of what I'll be posting here going forward.
