Dr Bob I think you need a separate board for non-medical treatment issues and support. I think this board fills the need for a place to socialize or be silly or funny or post poetry or political views. But what about issues which aren't really medical but are mental health related? Types of therapy, insurance, herbs, alternate therapies, as well as serious requests for support for problems in living could be addressed there.The medical board is better organized and more useful because of the limitation on topics. I think the same thing would happen if you separated a non-med mental health issues board from the "social" board.
I think PsychosocialBabble is a little confusing I would suggest Psychobabble for Non-med Mental Health Issues for the serious board and PsychoticbreakBabble for the recreational board.
Good Luck
