> > That last thing I want to see when severly depressed, so anxious I've been stuck in my shower for 4 and a half hours. Or just plan irratibile due to the problems my brain is causing me, is a seemingly non sensical unrelated speech about topics that I cannot string together no matter how hard I try. For this reason, if you plan on making a statement and getting a message across, please do it to people who actually have the mental stamina to abstractly think about whatever you are saying, and not to some of the most tprtured souls in the world. I beleive you will receive much more interactive and supportive talk if you post this message elsewhere.

I have learnt a huge amoumt from members like Ed in the UK, for instance. Why jeopardise this status and reputation? If one is intent on being inflammatory, misinformed, and irrational, then - for the sake of the mental health of members of this site - it may well be advisable to post at other sites whose members are not as *clinically* vulnerable and desperate for accurate, experiential, advice and information on medications and treatment.

> If I may say so without disrespect, peurile injunctions - as the most recent one from Dr Hsuing in this thread - that all members are obliged to "respect" irrationality - are simply not satisfactory. Consider their logical applications. Such injunctions mandate that the proposition that mental illness be an illusory phenomonon is conferred "respect". Such injunctions mandate that the propsition that neuro-psychiatric disease be an invention of the powerful medical auhorities is conferred "respect". Such injunction mandate that the proposition that medication solutions to chronic suffering be always means of evading the "truth" about oneself be conferred "respect". Such injunctions mandate that Tom Cruise (for instance) be, in essence, a person whose opinion on psychiatry and medication should be conferred "respect".

You wrote that the opinion on psychiatry and medication as thought by Tom Cruise should be conferred 'respect".
If you do not want to confer respect to Mr. Cruises opinions, which of the following would be acceptable to post here in your thinking:
The opinions of Tom Cruise concerning psychiatry and medication:
A. Are bullsh*t
B. Are a earthen-ware container of defecation
C. make no sense
D. cause him to need to take Haldol
E. all of the above
F. none of the above
G. A combination of the above which are ____
H. something else which is _______________
