Lacking the wherewithal to comment on Dr. Bob's psychology... I only submit the following reasons why some posters cease posting.
1) boredom. Once the med or therapy questions have been answered, there seems to be little reason to "hang out". When I get bored here, I try to be a little proactive and spice things up. Of course most of my efforts are failures, but at least I tried.
2) feeling better. One of the most prominent human tendencies is to run far and fast away from pain. Once the meds kick in, the job settles down, the relationships smooth out, the therapy is progressing appropriately-- why stick around? It might only remind one of the pain of adjustment, of transition. The reason why many folks seek out babble is because they are in pain, suffering for some biopsychosocial (political?) reason. Once that issue is resolved-- then what? Oh to be a Pollyanna and to proclaim- the death of babble is due to the success of modern psychiatry/psychotherapy... Wouldn't that be a panacea?
