Lately, the psychobabble board has been fascinating me.
It appears to be an enriched population of folks that are resistant to drug therapy.
Not only that, I am really interested in what factors cause people to post there rather than discuss med problems, questions, concerns with their pdocs or other physicians.
Is it distrust of their docs?
Is it the fact that it is anonymous?
Is it that psychobabble is more available than their docs?
Is it that their docs won't tell them things about their drugs? Are they too afraid to ask?
Are certain people with specific diagnosis more likely to post there?Etc...
Granted it is a skewed, self-reporting population, but it might be a source for some hypothesis generating data.
