Scolds on other psychiatry boards

Posted by mtdewcmu on April 13, 2011, at 18:34:32

Sheesh. I started posting on a different psychiatry board (which I will not name), and I was giving my mixture of knowledge and opinions in answer to people's questions, and I got scolded like a child by the admins for giving bad medical advice. I got a really rude email from one of them. I have to copy it here, because you have to see this to believe it:


>This is the second time I've had to contact you today over the content of your posts.
>
>Telling members to act without consulting their psychiatrists is just not okay. I don't care who you are or what you do in real life. You obviously don't know enough about psychiatry to begin giving medical advice as evidenced by saying Lamictal and lithium are "redundant."
>
>Further problems with your posts will result in suspension and/or banning.

I did not ignore the first email, I just didn't check my email in that time interval (which was like 2 hours). Isn't this board like a big bull session where we're all psych patients and we can speculate and opine to our heart's content? I think it's in the agreement on Dr. Bob's that you should not treat what people say here as if it's coming from an actual doctor.

I can't post on a board where some creepy person is looking over my shoulder and creating a dossier on everything I post, and gets all in a lather about some opinion that I stated without being delicate in case someone took it too literally. I can only imagine what they would say to the people on Dr. Bob's who are anti-psychiatry and tell people to stop their meds every chance they get.

How can you be so judgmental when you are running a board for people who admittedly have mental health issues? If you cater to the depressed and personality disordered, etc, occasionally someone is going to say something that is possibly unhelpful. Are you then going to shame that person and try to make them feel like crap for it? If they didn't already feel like crap, they would not need to be there. How do you get off trying to make someone feel worse for posting an opinion on your mental health board? Anyway, I think their board is junk now that I know that it is censored as if by the Chinese government. I won't name this website, but if you hang around there long enough, you will probably be able to figure out that it's garbage and learn to stay away.
