> My main concern is that we all benefit from different points of view. Separating the med and non-med camps is great for each camp to chew the fat and strengthen their own views, but it does nothing to introduce new ideas to the people who may need them most.
James here....
I don't see Social as an non-med place. I hope it is a place to discuss non med issues in more depth. I don't see it as a seperation, more a way to keep Babble from getting so huge. Clearly a place is needed to let people discuss meds. If we discuss everything there the page will get huge. One click is not too much to ask !
Do remember Todd that some of us, like me, just need the meds. I did 6 months of serious psycoanalysis in my early 20's, b4 the meds, and learned a lot, but some problems remained that only meds could deal with. I was born with ADD and depression followed in my mid 20's. The depression was not caused by any event(s), it was, in me, a question of biochemistry. The pdocs, psycholigist and I are in agreement here. I feel like I really did not start using what I learned in analysis till the meds and I wish I was taking meds while in analysis. $120 an hour would be better used if I was on meds and did not have underlying biochemical issues to deal with.
I don't think I have ever mentioned this, but I feel everyone should do 3-6 months in analysis,
you can learn a whole lot about yourself.James
