When people are posting back and forth on a topic and someone jumps in and says drug Z is poison, treatment O is hogwash, your doc is out of touch, or your dx isn't valid. That's the problem that I see. I feel those stmts are seen as an attack. People invest a lot of money on treatments, medications, phyicians, therapists, etc. to feel better. With that in mind, this will cause anger or hurt feelings that someone is questioning their treatment plans.
I have seen this happen over and over on the med board and now more recently on psych board. I don't think people want to debate what they put a lot of money into to get better. They want support and knowledge to better themselves, but I don't think they want their treatment plans under an interrogation of proof of progress or validity.
I feel people want respect of their given choice of professional treatment plans, dx, and medication regimen. We all know this is unique as each person. We can appreciate, share, support, educate, and/or vent our feelings to each other in a safe environment. This is my thoughts.
