I'm fairly new to Psychobabble, and I do have a few complaints about it, but overall, it is so much better than any other mental health message board I've come across. Every so often, I go back to Usenet or to AOL Depression and ADD/ADHD boards, and each time I make the mistake of doing that, I am struck by the vast difference in quality between those other boards and Psychobabble. There are no standards on those other boards, and the low level of discourse is appalling. The AOL boards are "monitored," but the monitors are not trained in mental health. The Usenet boards are populated largely by bigots, chronic proscrastinators and co-dependents who seem to have little interest in overcoming their disorders, and who are threatened by and actually try to sabotage those of us who struggle valiantly to rise above our difficulties.
Thank you to Dr. Bob and to all the other PB members who make this board possible.
