> Question number one I asked because you seem different than most psychiatrists I've known or heard of. I think mainly because of starting and running this board—you seem very cyber-oriented and possibly less traditional because of that. You also sound very young at times (not that I was asking your age). So it's really just curiosity.
Maybe I am kind of different, but psychiatrists are getting more cyber-oriented every day...
Really, I *sound* very young sometimes? Can you give me an example? :-)
> Question number two I asked because I wanted your opinion. And also, there have been disputes among posters on this site about nature vs. nurture as causes of depression and other mental illness, meds vs. psychotherapy as treatment, etc. In fact many of the most heated arguments I remember center around these issues. So I was curious what you thought.
I hope you'll understand if I don't jump into any more heated arguments right now. :-)
> I also wish sometimes more professionals would post (as such). You have some on the meds board but I at times would like to ask more general questions (such as from psychologists).
Hmm, there's an idea...
> In fact, I've thought it might be a good idea to have a board here that was a cross between online group therapy and a support group, with a therapist facilitating it.
That can get complicated, practicing therapy online...
